I'm coming to Sydney on a long term work visa in a couple of months, and I've been offered the chance to house-sit for at least part of this for some friend's parents in Stanmore. Trouble is, I've never visited that area before, so don't want to commit until I know more about it, transport links, crime, etc; is it a nice area basically??
I'm a single guy in my late 20's, who'd be needing to get to the North Shore to work. My brother has lived in Balmain for a few years, where I've spent most of my time when visiting; any info on how it would compare?
Thanks
