Our two 17 year old granddaughters wanted to come to Sydney, and we thought it might be the perfect graduation gift. Grandpa stayed home (in Oklahoma, USA) and our two sons accompanied the girls and I for a whirlwind, wonderful vacation. I can't say enough about our home away from home! The girls absolutely loved it! It is beautiful, quirky, comfortable, decorated with so many interesting furnishings, the garden area is a delight, and the balconys and roof garden were so much fun. Giacomo and Lyn were so helpful, accommodating and kind from the time we made the reservations until we left for home. Always available and ready to answer questions and help out. Balmain East was the perfect area, too. We mostly used the ferry, because they were so close and convenient. Circular Quay, Darling Harbor, Barangaroo, Manly Beach, Taronga Zoo-all an easy trip on the ferry. For a few longer trips, we used the buses and train. Thank you, Giacomo and Lynn! We feel we were truly blessed to find you and your home for our trip to Sydney. We will never forget it!
