Comfortable and chilled with easy access to the river, shops and restaurants
Pros:

Very chilled. Beautifully decorated and appointed. Quiet and safe. Very comfortable bed. Lovely outdoor area with sofas to have dinner in. Big towels and bathroom toiletries provided. Great a/c. Use of the kitchen area with own shelf in fridge, supply of coffee, cereal and sour dough for toasting with butter and jams for breakfast. Couldn’t fault a thing.
Easy walk to shops, restaurants and the river to pick up the cat into central Brisbane.

Cons:

Nothing

Privacy?
Pros:

Distance to Oxford Street and the river/public transport was very convenient. The room is decorated beautifully with nice paintings done by the owner's wife. Nice view from the bed into the front garden.

Cons:

The host texted me the day before and asked me to tell him what time we would get there. We were on holiday and wanted to spend the day relaxing, not planning everything. When we got there, there was a locksmith working on the bathroom door (that opened into the garden). When he left, he hadn't fixed the door properly so we couldn't have locked bathroom doors our whole stay. When we were out, the host would come into our room and do things like turn the aircon off and put the remote back in the holder. He came into our room twice without telling us when we were out. That made things uncomfortable. Yes it's your house, but I am paying good money for this room. Breakfast was do it yourself, no best before dates on the packages of bread. On the morning we left, another couple had arrived and the husband was having a sticky beak around the property, stuck his head round the corner and got a full view of me naked having just stepped out of the shower. There are no signs around the property telling people there are people staying in rooms and not to walk along the verandah in front of occupied rooms. All around an uncomfortable stay.

Netter Homestay in geschmackvoll eingerichtetem Stadthaus
Pros:

Brian war ein toller Gastgeber, der mir mit seinen Tipps sehr geholfen hat, Brisbane und die Balmoral-Nachbarschaft zu entdecken. Das Zimmer war toll und sehr individuell und geschmackvoll eingerichtet, das Bett war hervorragend. Auf der Terrasse gab es noch gemütliche Stühle und einen Tisch sodass man am Abend auch noch auf der Terrasse etwas trinken konnte

Cons:

Balmoral ist etwas außerhalb von Brisbane, vom Haus waren es etwa 20 Minuten Fußweg bis zur Fähre über Oxford Street mit tollen Restaurants und kleinen Boutiquen. Vom Fährenstop Bulimba waren es dann nochmals 20 Minuten bis ins City Center. Mit einem Mietwagen ist das Haus perfekt erreichbar, zur Metrobahnstation Morningside geht man vom Haus ca. 15 Minuten
