John and Christina's home was just like a home away from home. It was very comfortable and warm. Their home is in a great location just 5kms from the city centre. The conservatory at the rear was my favourite resting spot looking out to the garden. Their neighbours on both sides were very helpful with any information . I got to know the 145 bus from the end of The Rise on Stillorgan Rd and this bus and several others take you right into O'Connell Street..no need to take the car. The Blue Airport coach also leaves from this stop. The local supermarket is also at The Rise and has every thing you would want. My home here in Sydney was all tidy and clean so it was good to come into it just as I left it. Thanks John and Christina for a great holiday.
