I stayed at Westport from Jan 15 - Jan 26, 2006. This was by far the best place I could stay at, considering that I wanted to stay in Parramatta. I was in a split-level, 1 bedroom apartment that was huge. Bedroom and bathroom are on the first level, and large living room, laundry room (full size washer and dryer)and balcony are on the upper level. Kitchen is fully equipped (pots, pans, utensils, cooking gadgets, etc). Apartments are cleaned once a week, but if requested can be serviced more often, depending on your needs. There are a lot of restaurants in the building and quite a few convenience stores in the close proximity. The area is very safe, staff is very friendly. Secure building with excellent indoor pool, sauna and gym.
RiverCat ferry terminal is one block away, and I took it often to get to the city. It takes 40 minutes, and costs $AUD 7 each way, pretty much just like a subway fare, but definitely more enjoyable. Weekly fares are available for $AUD 30. I will DEFINITELY stay there again!
