About
Narrow 2-storey workers terrace *3-star* with backyard and balcony to sit in the sun. Walking distance from Newtown, Erskineville and St Peters train stations and bus on the main road, King St. Suitable for 1-2 quiet mature residents: 2 x king single beds available; vegan/vege preferred, non-smoking inside. Due to the house's old age 1886, and fragility, it's not suitable for teenagers nor children. Not a party house.

No animals to mind, but there are neighbouring cats and a magpie in the backyard to talk to.
