The property is in a great location. Some items such as crockery and cutlery and pillows need an upgrade. I was disappointed that the toilet opens into the kitchen.

Good location for what we required close to ferry if wanting to go into the city. Was about a 15 min walk to the main street of Balmain for restaurant. Room was very clean and tidy. Alice the host made sure everything was ok right up until we were at the property.
