Summary

Shala the cat will welcome you to this delightful period terrace in the safe and friendly Newtown neighborhood which is famous for its colourful character. Close to an aquatic centre with pool and gym, yoga centres, a big park and Organic Food Markets on Sunday. Enjoy the gas cooking, unlimited wifi and al fresco dining in a lush tropical garden. It's close to all the live music, street art, bars, cafes, galleries, theatres, restaurants and vintage & antique shops: the best of the inner west.

Space

Rich with rustic charm, this haven oozes plenty of character with a lovely sense of home. Sitting in a quiet, leafy street, it is ideally positioned for everything : transport, delicious eateries plus the local shops of Marrickville and Newtown. With comfortable couches and dining table and all my friends' art on the walls, the living space is very practical whilst being simple and attractive. You will be sharing with and caring for my cat, Shala, who has access to the garden through her own catdoor. She eats cat biscuits morning and night - and is great company. The front double bedroom upstairs has french doors that open onto a private balcony with tree orchids and often Queen of the Night moon lilies. The back 'treehouse' bedroom upstairs has early morning light and overlooks a garden canopy of beautiful trees and bird life. There are 2 extremely comfortable sofas in the lounge room that can be 2 single beds or moved into a double bed overnight. The rear garden is a delight providi

Neighborhood Overview

My place is in an area called the Inner West, so its a built up area, but close to the city and has a great inner city community feel. You can see the whole spectrum of Sydney people around you, with city workers, students, artists, musicians, and plenty of people from various liberal persuasions. There are a few parks close by, a huge variety of remedial massage and new local craft beer breweries all around.

Notes

I live in a terrace with a very steep stairwell up to the bedrooms, so if you have problems with stairs in any way, this may not be the best place for you.

Transit

It is a 5 min walk to the Newtown and St Peters Train Stations, and buses to everywhere including the Sydney beaches. Its great to just walk around the suburb as it is full of fashion, bricabrac, op shops and vintage shops, as well as different architecture, graffitti art and local buskers.

Access

You are welcome to use the whole house, including al fresco dining in the lush rainforest back garden. The kitchen is small but cooking with gas and you are welcome to cook. Access to the bathroom is outside the back door but still undercover, so it overlooks the garden.

    This house is perfect for an inner city getaway. Beautiful terrace house, very comfortable and Kassandra was lovely and made everything so easy. Highly recommended for location, so close to king st and enmore rd for great restaurants , cafes and bars etc and even marrickville metro when you just need some groceries. A really relaxing beautiful place.

    It is a beautiful place to stay in. It is a central place, you can find easily transport, restaurants, markets and pubs. Nearby to the city and Cassandra is a kind and friendly person.

    Very accomodating home, had a very welcoming feel to the home and host was very easy to communicate with. Thoroughly enjoyed short walks to the shops and train station making exploring very easy and our stay an overall positive one.

    Great location and perfect little house from which to experience Newtown living! We had a great time and loved Kassandra's tips for local cafes etc. Recommended.

    A perfect little piece of Enmore!

    Kassandra's place was perfect and easily slept the 6 of us! It was bigger than the pictures made out! We could easily walk to Newtown and we were a 2 minute drive to the Marrickville metro shopping centre, which made it easy to grocery shop. Kassandra was so lovely and welcoming. Such a lovely spot! I'm jealous!

    Kassandra's home is absolutely lovely !! You can enjoy the terrace and she has a very cute cat. It's also well located, with plenty of good and varied restaurants around and it's near the train station. I strongly recommend

    Lovely, comfortable house. Arty and quirky, with good heating and great beds. Close to shops, restaurants, transport and nightlife. Would highly recommend!

  • Andres

    Great location, well set up, helpful hostess. Very comfortable beds, even the couches. You do have to feed the cat but that's known at the start and no imposition. The stairs are most steep so beware if that's an issue. We would stay again.

    This welcoming private colourful terrace is a haven in Newtown. Filled with art and colour. Way better than a sterile apartment! Kassandra was so welcoming and explained the house quirks. She is super fast to respond to messages. Beds were comfy and warm. It’s a short stroll to Newtown and you can get a direct train to Circular Quay. The house is leafy inside and out. Shower pressure was heavenly and kitchen has all you needed. The house is just so atmospheric and eclectic - a beautiful experience more than a place to stay. We loved Marrickville markets and Sydney Park. Loads of great coffee nearby, the best gelato and great organic and health food shops. Totally recommend.

    Clean but a bit dated. Didn't realise it was a gas oven (rather than electric). However Kassandra is very helpful and attentive , and it was fine once we understood it needed an independent lighter.

    Good location and good vibes.

    Kassandra's house is very convenient, close to shops, dining and easy transport into the city. We had a great time and would certainly book again.

    This is a lovely house in a great location. Close to great restaurants and not far to the train station. Very quiet at night and very comfortable. Kassandra has lots of interesting artwork on the walls and it feels very homely. One thing to note is the stairs to the upper floor are very steep as they are in these kind of houses, could be difficult to navigate if you have mobility issues.

    Quirky property and compact. No air conditioning just fans. However, this is reflected in the price.

  • Libby

    This property makes no excuses for the fact that it is someone's home in original condition, not a private property dressed up as an alternative to a hotel. Be sure your expectations are clear. Would not recommend as a three/four bed arrangement but perfectly comfortable as a two bed deal. Kassandra' communication was timely and clear. The location is good, particularly for vintage clothes and variety of food, and the street is quiet. The back yard is a sanctuary.

    The house is near everything, train, bus, shopping centers, etc. It is located in a quiet street although it is just 800m away from one of the busiest streets in Newtown.

  • Carlos

    Great location to live the Newtown lifestyle. Just 5 min away from all type of services, train station is just 10 min away, and just 4 stops to get to downtown Sydney. If more than 4 people, and someone has to sleep in the coach, the cat can be a bit annoying during the night, she will wake you up when hungry ;). We had a great stat though.

    Great location close to fantastic cafes, bars and eateries and to public transport. Lovely home with very comfortable upstairs bedrooms. Would definitely stay again!

    Kassandras home is comfortable, large, and full of fun quirky artwork. The gardens are beautiful and make you feel like you’re in a jungle in the middle of an huge city. The home feels cozy and lived-in, not at all sterile and generic like a hotel. We just moved to Sydney from the US and stayed here while we looked for our own apartment in the Newtown area. Kassandras place was the perfect home base while we explored the neighborhood. The house cat, Shala, is sweet, friendly, and chatty. Though she does have a somewhat annoying habit of jumping onto tables in the morning and pushing things onto the ground to wake you up to feed her. (This can easily be mitigated by closing the door of the room you are sleeping in.) Kassandra responded to all messaged promptly and was a great host. We’ll definitely be recommending this place to anyone who comes to visit us in Sydney.

    A beautiful and quirky place right amongst the hustle and bustle of Newtown/Enmore. Great amenities and a beautiful garden to sit amongst nature and bath in the sun.

    Quick responses, easy to contact if ever needed. Plenty of towels and spots to sleep.

    Kassandra’s place is an unrestored Victorian two storey terrace, a short walk to King St shops. It has comfortable shabby chic furniture and lots of cool and quirky art installations. Sweet Shala the cat will welcome you on arrival.

  • Anna

    This is a lovely garden & art focussed place to stay, very quirky and fun. It is so central to everything, easy walk to both King Street & Enmore Road. It's nice staying somewhere a little more personal, and Kassandra was just SO welcoming. Highly recommended!

  • Silvia

    This beautiful two storey Victorian house is situated 5 minutes away from all the Newtown's attractions but it feels like living in a hidden jungle with its lovely-wilde backyard. The place is full of all comforts and amenities, you'll be surrounded by a strong personality place with cozy and artistic pieces and furniture. Shala the cat add the final touch to make it your home far from home. Just like her place Kassandra is a very friendly person, easy going and friendly.

    Kassandra was a lovely host, so welcoming and helpful! Her home is stylish and comfortable and close to everything you could need. Everything was easy and we had a fantastic weekend in Kassandra's home.
