Chic, modern city apartment with gym and swimming pool
Our apartment is in a well-maintained security block, which includes an indoor swimming-pool, sauna, gym and spa pool. The apartment is on the second floor with 2 lifts for ease of access.
The kitchen has a Smeg electric oven and gas cooktop, with a double sink and sink disposal unit as well as a dishwasher. There is an Optimum Blender, an espresso machine and a Magimix food processor so cooking is a pleasure - we do not need a microwave.
The lounge/dining room has a comfortable sofa (which can covert into a bed) and 2 lounge chairs and opens out onto a large balcony with table and chairs, great for casual dining. The apartment has ducted air-conditioning, which is perfect for Sydney summers.
The bedroom has a queen-size bed, with a small balcony and ensuite bathroom with shower. There is a larger bathroom with bath and shower and we have turned the second bedroom into a study - it also opens onto the balcony so it is light and airy. Our apartment can accommodate two people only. The compact laundry has a washer and dryer.
We love having a gym and swimming pool downstairs and the sauna is great, too.

Il nostro quartiere
Aeroporto più vicino: Sydney Airport -
We love living in North Sydney as public transport is so good - on one side of our apartment block there are buses which go over the Harbour Bridge and take about 15 minutes at most to get into the city. There are also buses that go to the beautiful Northern beaches of Sydney, or to the major shopping centre, Chatswood. We can also take a 5-10 minute bus ride to Sydney Harbour where we can enjoy a scenic ferry ride to the city, with spectacular views of the Sydney Opera House & Harbour Bridge.
We walk to either North Sydney or Crows Nest to shop or meet friends for a meal - it's about an 8 minute, pleasant walk and there are many good restaurants serving cuisines from all over the world. Since moving here last year, we do not use our car as much, which is good for our purse and the environment !
We regularly walk in nearby St. Leonards Park, a lovely green oasis, where we sometimes stop at "The Greens", a bowling club with a very good restaurant and views to the city. All visitors are welcome there,too.
There is a golf course in the next suburb, Cammeray and tennis courts are just over the road from our apartment.

Circa la nostra famiglia
Paul & I have been retired for some years now and we try to do at least one exchange a year - we have had 10 exchanges so far, In Australia, France, Germany & Austria, and we have enjoyed the experience of 'living like a local' very much. We are members of a pet and house-sitting site as well, and have really enjoyed looking after dogs, cats and Alpacas !
We are both fit and enjoy walking - I like yoga & tai chi and also swim and exercise in our gym. We are interested in politics, history and reading and have many books on a range of subjects. We also have a lot of DVD's, many in French - striving to become more proficient in French is a constant challenge for us!! I am also a volunteer English teacher at Red Cross and I love meeting newcomers to Australia. Paul volunteers at our local community radio station.
We have one daughter who lives in Sydney as well as other extended members of our families.
Stile di vita
We enjoy the outdoors, just as much as we enjoy visiting museums, art galleries and attending concerts. We love walking, swimming in the pool at our apartment block as well as using the gym there.
