I live in the northern suburbs of Sydney—quiet for studying and relaxing，yet close to Sydney University & NCELTR & SIBT.The subway station is nearby.
All facilities of the house including a living room with a TV can be used.Owners are very open and friendly，and treat students as part of the family.
The prices include all meals (breakfast，lunch and dinner) and cleaning.The fee is $300 per week.
