Only stayed for a couple of nights but were made to feel most welcome. Location was excellent with a great local pub. Both Vin & Stuart were excellent hosts but very much just let you get on with things and offered advice and help about Sydney if you needed it. I would highly recommend staying with them.

We had a wonderful stay with Vinh (Stuart was out on business). Their house is tastefully decorated with a view to the water, clean, comfortable, and easy access to the city center. Vinh is very friendly and helpful with good advice how to go about the city. We enjoyed our stay and conversation with him, and have no hestation to recommend their house to our friends. And we hope we'll visit them again.

Amazing place in a great location. The room was really comfy and the whole house really nice. The district is really nice and you can walk down to the CBD in 15 - 20 minutes. The kitchen was fully equipped, the fridge always full and Vinh & Stuart were very welcoming. Vinh even got up at three in the morning to make sure the taxi he had called for us was really coming to pick us up! We can definitely recommend this place!

Vinh and Stuart were very warm and hospitable, they did all they could to make our stay a comfortable one. We went to the market with their friends and enjoyed a delicious breakfast and lots of interesting conversation. We had a great time and would recommend them to everyone.

Vinh and Stuart are caring and accommodating hosts. They went out of their way to make us feel at home and comfortable. The wifi connection was great and so was the taxi reservation!! The information Vinh and Stuart provided before our visit was extremely helpful. Thanks to these two delightful young men for making our time in Sydney very enjoyable.

We had a fantastic time in Sydney, and having a wonderful place to return to after a full day of activities is truly awesome. The room is excellent and the location of the house is prime, making travelling so much more convenient. If you appreciate a clean, cozy place to stay / cook / chill, this is definitely the place for you! Thanks for being super hosts, Vinh, Stuart and Kenji!

Vinh met us on arrival. He was really welcoming and accommodating. We were given a tour of the house, facilities and our room. Both Vinh and Stuart were really helpful with guidance with what to do in Sydney. They made us feel right at home. The pictures given are extremely accurate. The place is stunning and in such a great spot to walk anywhere really. Local transport was very close too. The neighbourhood felt very safe and friendly. We really couldn't have had a better trip. Thank you Vinh and Stuart xx

Wonderful place to stay, Vinh and Stuart make you feel welcome in their cozy, tastefully appointed home in this peaceful neighborhood. Everything you need is nearby: great restaurants, grocery stores and public transportation. Perfect, to use as a base, to explore Sydney.

If you don't stay here while in Sydney, you ARE missing out! Noa and Max are phenomenal hosts. Their communication, professionalism and friendliness was excellent and the studio an absolute dream. It's gorgeous, comfortable, spacious and pristine - but full of character. It's also in a great location with the most delicious restaurants around. We were so sad to leave but will definitely be back again. Thank you Noa and Max!

Noa's place was really comfortable, I loved my stay. It's in a ideal position close to some good cafes and restaurants in Surry Hills.

Ideally located this was a perfect set up for a few days business travel. Close to everything, especially the city, with great amenity and access to restaurants, coffee and groceries. Would be equally suited for access to eastern suburbs. The 'den' is delightfully and practically furnished. Countless ambient and engaging touches, with a lovely aesthetic. Noa was attentive and helpful and exceptionally kind when I misplaced my wallet. Couldn't ask for better.

This apartment is immaculate and located in a perfect location for all foodies, we recommend reuben hills, mah jong and bad hombres. Surry hills is a close walk to the city and central station is only minutes away. The communication between Noa and myself could not be faulted and she was extremely helpful. I would not hesitate in recommending this to friends and family and we will be back.

This would be one of a place I would recommend anyone who wants to find a beautiful place to stay at Sydney. Located in an inner suburb gives us a comfort on reaching out to places in CBD with ease and also a privateness away from all the night buzz Sydney is well known of. Noa was also very helpful to us on our check in requirement and very reachable. This place was definitely our highlight during our last trip to Sydney.

They were lovely and the place was amazing! It was the best place I've ever stayed!!! It's so modern and nice.

I like the indoor decoration very much. Noa is helpful. Good stay.

Walking distance from Central station, exceptionally clean, friendly service and extremely pleasurable ambiance this place has. Shame we only booked one night! Highly recommended.

An attractive, clean, comfortable, safe place to stay, with everything you are likely to need on hand, and a welcoming, helpful, pleasant host.

I didn't get to meet Thais because our schedules conflicted, but I met her mum Lena who is precious! The whole stay was wonderful and Thais was very gracious to check and see if I needed anything during the course of my stay. Thank you for a wonderful visit and I hope to return again soon!

Thais was being very helpful and responsible. And the room was clean and had everything we needed or even more. Location was excellent, we went to places we wanted to go without having troubles. In short, recommended!

Such a homely and warm place! We very enjoyed our stay at Thais's place! The room is spacious, clean and tidy and the bed was comfy. We stayed for 5 nights and had no issues with noise. In a quiet area but really close to the downtown area, and easy to access the surrounding attractions in 30 minutes. Highly recommended! :)

Nice apartment as same as the photos shown. Warm welcomed with breakfast and all basic items. Tourist information booklets were also provided which saved my time to look for one. Thais was responsible and easy to communicate. She gave instant replies and came to solve the problem when she found one. Do recommend this place!

The service is thoughtful, it can be used.Eager for the customer.A few of the living rooms can be provided.

Clean apartment, perfect central location, close to all amenities, hospitable host.

Thais place was a great, comfortable location for my husband and I on our honeymoon. We hadn't been to Sydney before but Thais had a great map with grocery stores, pubs, and coffee shops near by the house. She was very helpful and great to communicate with. Loved our time spent here!

The location of this apartment is amazing. Pretty much everything is within walking distance and for those things slightly further, Museum station is so close that it make these things easily accessible. Although the apartment is in such a great location, it is located on a quiet street so you won't be disturbed by city noises. The apartment itself is very nice. Although it's pretty small, it felt like plenty of space because of the way it's laid out, high ceilings, and very well appointed interior. The bed was also really comfortable. Reid is really friendly and although I didn't get to see him too much, he was always prepared to give useful advice as to places to visit and local knowledge of the nightlife.

#1. Thank you so much Reid xx #2. You and your cozy/lovely house make my holiday more beautiful. #3. Nothing much to speak, if you are looking for some modern and stylish flat with nice location, especially who like walking anytime like me, please stay here.

Reid was a perfect and welcoming host. He was very nice in providing me with maps and other materials in order for me to enjoy the best of Sydney. The room itself is nicely decorated and does look like exactly what is shown in the pics. The apartment is cozy and the location is great, very close to metro/train station Museum and the best spots in town. Recommended!

Reid was very friendly and hospitable. He made sure that my arrival was flawless (from getting the key to settling in). The listing (the location, common room, bathroom, and my room) was very accurate according to the information and photos posted here. The unit was located more or less on the second floor after climbing up few stairs. Might be challenging if you have many (big) luggages because it has no elevator, but totally worth it. The unit was clean and homey with nice view from the balcony, in a great location (about 1min walk to Hyde Park and 2min walk to the beginning of Oxford St). The area was so quiet and peaceful although it was located very central. One amazing thing that I found was the guest information folder that has Reid's floor plan and description, as well as clippings and maps related to travel and tourism in Sydney. Very informative and useful for many. Equipped with speedy wifi, coffee and tea were provided, including the amenities such as shower gel, shampoo, and other stuffs just like in hotels (even better). Hot shower worked well and fast (if you are being particular about this as some people do). Bed was very comfy and I could sleep well. No AC inside the bedroom but that was not a problem at all since the fan was enough to make the room breezy and cool. Another highlight was there was a roomy space in the wardrobe dedicated to put your stuffs. I found that staying with Reid in his place was more than just the listing itself. His friendliness and great hospitality were more valuable and important additions to his lovely place. We had a great conversation, sharing thoughts and laughter, even in such a short time (mostly after 9pm when we both were at home). Great personality, respectful, and always stay true to himself. I admired his determination for work, as well as for his personal being (living healthy, eating healthy, etc). Something that I learned from him. Thank you so much for everything. This place is highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay in Sydney city center, not only because of the lovely place, but also the lovely host.

Reid’s place is awesome and so is he – a super friendly, easygoing and hospitable guy. The perfect host. As a newcomer in Sydney (without job or any social network) I enjoyed his great company when he was home from work and the gym. If you want to explore the city this cozy art deco flat is located close to pretty much everything. It is neat, tidy and ventilated. I will definitely recommend it to everyone!

Reid's place in Sydney could not have provided a more perfect backdrop for a long weekend in Sydney. Ideal location - easy walk to Sydney Harbour, public transportation, and food/drink in various neighborhoods. We didn't want to leave!

The house was beautiful, the bed comfortable, the neighbourhood quiet and extremely convenient to everywhere. Reid was a very friendly host throughout, all communications were very clear - all in all, one of my best experiences on airBNB!

Fantastic experience. The apartment is located on an awesome spot close to public transport and also walking distance to major places of interest. The apartment and the room for guests is exactly as pictured and depicted in Reid's ad and was always clean and tidy. Reid was a really welcoming host and made me feel at home. Has a great sense of humour and is really friendly. I would definitely book there again Thanks again Reid

Dean&Bron sind wunderbare Gastgeber, in kürzester Zeit haben wir vergessen das wir hier ein Zimmer gemietet hatten da wir uns wie Freunde des Hauses auf Besuch fühlten. Das Haus ist sehr stylisch und gemütlich, unser Zimmer war sehr schön und ruhig. Die Lage ist super, Surry Hills ist DAS Viertel schlechthin, super Lokale und nah zu allem was man sehen will. Danke für die tollen Grillabende mit Euch in Eurem herrlichen Patio und für die vielen Tipps für eine super Woche in Sydney.

Dean and Bron made the stay with them an overwhelming success because of their warm,generous, enthusiastic welcome and delightful company. Suggested restaurants, activities and transport options were spot on and much appreciated. The accommodation is stylish and very relaxing. The aroma of the beautiful candles and perfumes adding to the unique ambience. The location is superb and I enjoyed a real sense of the community and flare of Surrey Hills. Huge thanks to Dean and Bron for going the extra mile and making the stay exceptional. A return visit is already planned.

Great place to stay, centrally located in inner city but v quite with excellent cafés close by. We could walk to Circular Quay in half an hour! Bron & Dean we're v welcoming & we're happy to share the world cup quarter final game @ 6am. Bedroom was perfect, with balcony & own bathroom. Our only comment would be the double bed, was very comfy but a bit too short for my 6ft husband. Otherwise a great experience for our first Airbnb.

Ok Airbnb stayers. Your search has ended. Stay here. There is no other way to describe it. First the location. Surry Hills is in my mind the best place to stay and live in Sydney. Slap bang in the middle with a short walk to everywhere. But I find myself reluctant to leave the local area as the bars, cafes and restaurants are the best in Surry Hills. Bourke St Bakery, 3 mins up the road, people queue up outside for the coffee and sausage rolls and it became my morning ritual. Dean n Bron's is in a lovely quiet street but you are one block from everything going on. I stayed with them, fell in love with the area and now I have my own rented apartment which is literally down the road. The house. Amazing. Like a boutique hotel. I mean come on Eames Chair, private bathroom with rainfall shower, 66" TV, good wifi, wireless music etc. Luxurious. Immaculately clean, always. Dean is the king of the Windex. The hosts. So friendly. Took me out on my first day that I landed, showed me sights, had breakfast together. Could not have asked for a warmer welcome. Whether I wanted to do my own thing and come in late and barely see them, or we have dinner together and enjoy a glass of wine, they were cool with whatever my plans were. They were my first friends in Sydney and I do hope it continues that way henceforth. I have stayed in many airbnbs, this was my first as a room in a house as opposed to renting the whole place. Loved every minute and was genuinely sad to have left.

Dean and Bron were wonderful hosts and made us feel very welcome in their home. The room in their adorable terrace house is lovely and has everything you need. The Surry Hills location is perfect; quiet, but only minutes to countless cafés, bars, restaurants and shops. Dean and Bron are full of great recommendations for things to do and places to visit in the area - we had a great time here!

5 star station!

Best Airbnb stay yet! Bron is a very welcoming and gracious host and her home is stylish, comfortable and brilliantly located for easy access to all the iconic Sydney sights.

I loved staying with Bron. Her & Dom made me feel so welcome and she even cooked me dinner the first night (she's an amazing cook btw). The room is large and has everything you need incl an iron & ironing board. It's a peaceful location and quiet at night. I slept really well. The bathroom is gorgeous too. Rain shower with loads of perfumes to use and Aesop products- so 6 star! And I'll miss the Bourke St Bakery, I went 3 mornings in a row- best museli in town!! I'd def. stay again if she will have me back! :)

Ariana is a lovely person so it was a pleasure making the booking and subsequent arrangements with her. The apartment was just as I expected it to be after viewing photos online and reading the other reviews, a very relaxed and comfortable place, well taken care of with all you need, perfect really! We loved it and we loved being in Potts Point which is a very hip part of Sydney within walking distance to the CBD with lots of great restaurants and cafes and a great vibrancy and feel about it. All in all we had a wonderful time and I highly recommend a stay here! Thank you so much Ariana and we hope to be back sometime soon!

Ariana was a great host who was easy to contact. The apartment itself was excellent and in a great spot, I would recommend a stay here.

Ariana was an awesome host and offered any help required to navigate the area - the location is amazing and you can walk just about anywhere. Super helpful and a very comfortable appartment. I would definately stay there again.

The apartment of Ariana was perfect for our stay in Sydney. It felt like home the moment we stepped in. The atmosphere was just lovely! The bed was comfortable and the small modern kitchen was prepared with everything we needed. The location is also a big plus. It is quiet although all the nice bars and restaurants are around the corner. We walked easily form there to the harbour. Ariana was very kind and obliging and helps her guests with a map with all the relevant information and personal tips. We really enjoyed our stay and would always love to come again. Thank your very much, Ariana!

Two friends and I have just stayed 4 nights in Ariana's apartment while in Sydney - it was absolutely wonderful! The studio itself was beautiful (don't mind the slightly dated foyer of the building) - light, airy, beautifully decorated and very modern with everything we could need. We found it very spacious for the three of us, no trouble at all; and loved the convenience of having the place to ourselves where we could cook dinner etc. The location is fantastic too; in a very cool and busy part of town with lovely Saturday markets and heaps of bustling things to do within walking distance, including the central city (although the local train station is so close and taxis are really cheap too for when you've walked enough!). There's also zero noise from the street (although a little bit of bustle from the alleyway below the window - shopkeepers setting up, etc. Ariana was the perfect host too - great communication, everything thought of, wifi and breakfast provided, and there to greet us when we arrived. I couldn't speak more highly of her! The only thing to note is there are no curtains in the apartment - not at all a problem in itself, but the apartment gets quite light early in the morning :-) lovely to wake up to though! All in all a wonderful stay which we would 100% recommend! Thanks so much :-)

Ariana's place was great, close both to the center and Bondi Beach

Ariana is a great host and she shared lot of tips for kid's activities especially during rainy day. She would check with us time to time in order to ensure we're doing fine in her lovely studio. Although there was renovation in the neighboring unit, it was fine with us but Ariana felt truly apologetic for the inconvenience caused. The location of this studio is superb, close to King Cross station and 3 supermarkets. Do not put off by the rowdy King Cross, it's quite safe if you don't stay out late. The entrance of the building might look a bit run down but you'll be surprise when you step in Ariana's studio. What we love most about Ariana's studio?! The homey atmosphere especially the fully functioned kitchen that did not scarify our toddler's daily balanced meals. It made our stay in Sydney felt like Home. We love the patisserie downstairs where we bought our breakfast there almost everyday. Grab a pastry in the patisserie and a cup of coffee in nearby cafés, walk to the playground opposite of the studio. It satisfied both adults and the toddler in the lovely weather in Sydney. Thanks Ariana for everything that made our stay in Sydney wonderful.

Stayed for a few days in early Dec. Ariana was so lovely and very accommodating allowing us to leave our luggage at the apartment before the 2pm check in. The apartment is very homely and in a central location, close to night life, train station and the city. I will definitely consider staying at this apartment again when I am down that way.

We had a great time staying at Andrea's apartment. My parents said that it feels like home. Andrea was also very helpful, he kept our bags in his car after we checked out coz our flight is at 8pm. Wonderful host!

For 3/4 of us staying this was our first Airbnb experience and it was a great one. Great location in beautiful Surrey Hills and an easy walk to central station. Andrea was helpful and quickly responded to all communication. Room is cosy, kitchen is really handy and the balcony would be lovely (unfortunately we had bad weather). Enjoyed our stay at Andrea's home :)

Good location! Apartment was neat and clean too.

Perfect place to stay in Sydney. Would recommend

Sincere thanks to Andrea! it was absolutely great choice to stay his lovely apartment. he made our sydney trip most comfortable. he arranged bed for all our big family, towels and amenities,everything was beyond our expectations! fresh fruits,bottle of wine and heaps more! having early morning tea while siting on the chair in the balcony with well looked after pot plants and herbs under sunshine really recharged us before day starts. wasted time just to worry about accommodation before traveling to Sydney. apartments is very closed from the city, convenience transportation, safe environment and absolutely clean! thank you again Andrea for accepting us in your place!

Andrea's apartment has everything you need for an enjoyable stay in Sydney. The beds are very comfortable with professionally laundered sheets. The location is very handy to the city and the great restaurants and bars of Surry Hills. The outdoor area is a nice place to enjoy the complimentary bottle of wine. I will be back for sure!

Andrea communicated really well before we arrived and then came to meet us when we had trouble finding the entrance. He was friendly and told us about the apartment block and neighbourhood. His apartment, while small, had everything the three of us needed while we stayed in Sydney for a concert. The kitchen is well appointed, there's a nice big balcony, and the beds were comfortable with nice linen. Everything was spotless and the location was absolutely prime. As a bonus we even found free weekend on-street parking across the road! Thanks Andrea - I would definitely recommend this place to friends.

Andreas place was perfect. The information and communication prior to check in was the most thorough I've had and he was flexible with checking out which was much appreciated. Location was spot on. Love Surry hills!!

Fantastic Evening! =) I surprised my partner with a booking with Damon! From the moment I booked, everything was tailored and organized for us. He picked us up at the location of our choosing, recommended the best spot for views while we enjoyed the harbour and shuttled us right back the next morning. The boat is fully equipped and even featured a bose speaker system! Great experience and definitely at a great price! High recommended for a local Sydney-sider!

We were researching a boat Airbnb for a Saturday night on Sydney Harbour for Bens parents' last weekend in Sydney before travelling back to London. Damons boat price was comparable to others yet no one else offered the choice of where to pick you up, moor and drop you off. Damon graciously agreed to picking us up from Manly Wharf, which for our beaches location was perfect for us. We opted to overnight at Taronga Zoo which was beautiful - we got impeccably beautiful views of the harbour bridge and opera house with a spectacular sunset over the city, whilst behind us the bush and the sounds of wildlife - including those in the zoo - behind us. The boat itself I will describe as rustic charm, but it is spacious inside and on deck and the large open hatches provide plenty of fresh air and views is stars from the beds. We brought our own cheese platter, dinner and breakfast which was cooked on a camp stove with basic curtlery and cooking g utensils, however you had everything you needed. Damon provided plenty of bottled drinking and washing water and we all had a comfortable nights sleep. The next morning Damon returned at a time of our choosing for our sail back to Manly. An amazing experience from an interesting and gracious host and the best view in Sydney for a nights accommodation hands down.

This was my idea for a birthday celebration and it turned out to be wonderful. It was so chilled and relaxing and even though the weather wasn't the best, Damon was able to make it the best it could be. He also catered for my friend that was feeling sea sick where he then took us to a nice quiet bay with calmer water and we just relaxed. Damon was a great host catering for the needs we had. It was a great day

Damon was wonderful. We chartered his yacht for a sunset sail to celebrate our Nephew's graduation. At our request, he picked us from darling Harbour and dropped us at Woolloomooloo for dinner in continuation of our celebrations. All at times of our choosing. It was amazing how 10 of us fitted in his small and old yacht. I think that tightness of space made for close bonding, cozy and warm experience. I don't think the bonhomie and laughter stopped in the 2 1/2 hours. Damon never once lost his good humour and most importantly, his smile. Everyone had a most wonderful time and the Harbour was magical. Thank you Damon.

A great place to stay! My partner and I stayed with Morag for a week and can't say enough about it! The space is shared, but because of the layout of the apartment, it really does feel like you have your own place in the city. Charlie (the dog) was something to get used to at first, and certainly has a presence, but quickly warms up to guests. Bathroom was clean with full access to all of the amenities (e.g. kitchen, washer/dryer etc.) - this was very helpful. Great location in Sydney (we ran along the waterfront every morning). With a little effort we were able to walk everywhere we needed to go (great for us as we were trying to stick to a budget). Fresh breads/pastries/waffles/something every morning (a really nice touch). Something worth noting is that the apartment is on the 4th floor and their is no lift. This wasn't an issue for us, but may be something to consider for those not comfortable with stairs. Overall, a very positive experience and we would highly recommend this to anyone.

Morag's House is a very nice Place and it is really central to all Sightseeing in the City. The bedroom with a balcony and own bathroom is very comfortable. My stay with Morag was my First stay with airbnb and it was a goog stay. I liked the baked goods and Great coffee for breakfirst. It was a Great Location and Morag is a nice and friendly Person. I enjoy my stay!

Wonderful city apartment, conveniently located (easy walk to the city, all the parks and main tourist area, opera house, botanical gardens etc). Very comfortable room and facilities within the apartment were excellent - Morag even went out of her way to make us bread in the morning. Morag was very good at communication which made our stay very stress free i.e. good instructions on how to get into the apartment. She also provide her guests with lots of information about that area such as how to get around, nice things to do, etc. We had a great time and will easily recommend.

Morag is a wonderful host and her place is absolutely fabulous. Best location from which to explore all that Sydney has to offer. Charlie is quite the character and I appreciated the opportunity to play with him. This was my first Air BnB experience and I was absolutely amazed with not only the kindness of my host but the great accommodation offered. No need to look anywhere else.....stay here!

“The Terrace” is Darlinghurst’s little secret. What a special place! Stylish and full of character. Our bedroom was charming and suited our purposes, very private and inclusive of our own ensuite. Breakfast was literally a treat, we woke every day to the smell of fresh bread, scrumptious pastries, or a batch of mouth-watering pancake batter was awaiting to keep our appetites scrupulously amused and satisfied. The location is amazing. The stunning main terrace is part of Morags private living area. It has far-fetched views and we wish that we had more downtime to relax there. Morag is divine, very accommodating, full of local knowledge and superb to have a chat with. Quite close to being the hostess with the mostest! Last but not least we must not forget to shout out to her little but boisterous dog Charlie. We would unquestionably stay here again.

We stayed six nights at The terrace. It sits in a great location, 5 mins walk to Hyde Park, 10 mins to Pitt St. The bus stop is right downstairs, there several buses to Opera house, Watson Bay, Bondi etc. Charlie, the little dog is cute and smart. Morag is very very kind,we thank her for her great patience by explaining the route twice or more. Lastly the breakfast, we had different taste bread every morning, what a happy holiday(URL HIDDEN)

A lovely stay with Morag who was able to make us feel welcome, even though our last minute booking was sprung on her. Fabulous location and great apartment. Morag is very well set up for receiving guests.

Our room was clean and well appointed and the apartment was well situated for easy access to the city. Morag was a pleasure to deal with - very friendly and accommodating.

Great location and a great host. Very inviting.

I love Willoughby. Bronwyn and family are welcoming and polite but never intrusive. Wonderful location nice walk from Crows Nest and St Leonard's train station.

Lovely place. Spacious room with everything you need.

Everything was ready and waiting for me on arrival at Minny and Lindsay's, even down to a cold beer in the fridge! The property was exactly as described, clean, very well equipped, private and comfortable. The easy walk to public transport and the liveliness of Balmain village was a bonus.

The host made me feel very welcome. The room is perfect for the overnight - very clean and well kept. It's in a quite street too. I was able to walk to a nearby pub for dinner which was nice and just parked my car on the street with their parking voucher. Would recommend.

Excellent reception, well organised, very comfortable and private. Lindsay excelled by himself this time as MInny was busy having a baby !!! The location is excellent, so near the wharf, and so near to excellent dining. And also my favourite coffee available, with good local advice. Delightful. I definitely will be back when next in Sydney.

I really love to stay in this place. Warm welcome when I arrived early and Minny already set up everything for us although the guests from yesterday just left. Coffee, fruits and beers are prepared for the guest and I enjoy the coffee so much:) This suburb is nice with a dock and the business street is within 5 mins walking distance. Everything is good and We would like to stay again next time.

Great place! Very comfortable and relaxing.

lovely and private. instructions were helpful. would stay here again.

Minny made us very welcome, explained all the features of the room and then left us to settle in.

Minny and Lindsay are very welcoming hosts. The position was great - walking distance to ferry stop and Balmain shops. The room was beautifully decorated and very private and we were given a parking permit for our stay. Excellent!

The host arrived on-time and gave a detailed explanation of the house and neighborhood. The house was clean and comfortable and located in an awesome neighborhood. There is even an Absinthe Salon just across the street!

Great apartment! Great location! My daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Michael was a great host and we'll certainly go back next time I'm in Sydney

Michaels apartment was exactly as described! Very clean, had absolutely everything you need and was in the perfect spot. Close to trains, bars and cafes. We felt very comfortable in the flat and Mike was really friendly, giving us tips for the good spots to go and making sure we knew where everything was. Would definitely stay again !

We arrived and had a friendly greeting from Michael who patiently showed us the layout. We found the apartment perfect for our needs. We felt very secure. The North facing sunshine aspect was a bonus. It was clean and easy to live in. The position made it an easy walk to Central Station. The night view from the balcony was superb. Being Macintosh people, an iMac with internet access and Wi-Fi for the iPad exceeded our expectations. This accommodation and its host are highly recommended.

Without doubt, Michael's place is the epitome of trendy, inner city living. Located just a short walk from Central Station, the apartment has everything and more. Bathed in winter sunshine and super quiet, you would not realise that within 10 minutes you can be experiencing great restaurants and nightlife. To add to the great location, Michael is a generous and obliging host. He met us at an earlier time so that we could enjoy a complete weekend in Sydney and left us with coffee and supplies so that we could have leisurely mornings. He really knows how to make his guests unwind and enjoy the best of city living. This will be our Sydney bolt hole for all time.

excellent from first communication Michael was lovely and prompt with replies. Apt was amazing great location, loved the balcony, just as appeared in photos ! walking distance to central station, great places to eat and drink but quiet street to still feel away from the hussle. Cant wait to come back !! A+++

Michael was an excellent host - very communicative, friendly and helpful! His apartment was perfectly located for us. It was so close to both Crown St and Central railway station (if you wish to catch the train elsewhere). The apartment had everything - from a lovely balcony to TV to food essentials. Definitely recommend it and would definitely come back!

Great flat, really a home feel. Love the large terrace with the view on the city. The location is fantastic, right in the middle of Surry hills, in a quiet street and yet short walking distance from Crown or Oxford st with so many coffee shops, restaurants and bars. And on the other side, so close as well from Central station and china town. You can leave your car, and walk everywhere! Thanks Michael, was a great and comfortable stay. I recommend you anytime.

The location is superb (very close to Central Station Railway exit, pretty much behind Central Park shopping center). The room (and the bathroom) are spacious and very clean . The hosts were very nice (came to greet us personally and took time to talk to us even though they were very busy with exams) . Would highly recommend this place :)

很开心的一次住宿体验,一共住了4天,James&Shirley是很热情的一对夫妻,能用中文沟通太方便了,可以了解悉尼各种吃喝玩乐和路线,哪些值得去。位置距离中央火车站很近,出行方便。出门步行2分钟就有一条美食街,有中餐馆,好吃的甜品店和大型超市,吃买都方便~下次还会选择这里~

交通位置很好 房東很熱情會講中文 稍微美中不足的地方是廁所只有一間 如果兩個房間都住滿人加上房東 6人輪流使用廁所需要排隊 Great location! James was really passionate. There were only few things brother us, such as they have one bathroom and we have to to ask before using things in kitchen. Expect that, everything was quite alright: )

Thank you for having us, James. We really enjoyed staying at your place. The room was beautiful, just as it looks on the pictures. It was very nice of you to call the taxi for us and wait for it with us in the morning. We really appreciate it.

Very clean and warm place

Had to cancel at last minute. Prior to this James was extremely helpful.

房東人很好非常貼心幫我們準備的很齊全,房間非常乾淨漂亮,地點離市區近很方便,整個環境讓我覺得很舒適

Excellent location, very clean and secure place to stay in Sydney city. N warm hospitality James. Thank u very much.

Paolo met us when it was time to check-in. He showed us around the studio and the laundry room. They also had a print out of places we could visit for great Italian food or gelato. We loved the location. It was just a few minutes from the Kings Cross train station. We could get delicious breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks on the street the apartment was on or just a short walk away. We also loved having coffee available for us. Overall, a great way to experience Sydney, and Paolo&Max's place was nice to come home to after a long day of sightseeing and walking!

Alessandro was an amazing host, even though he was not in the city he managed everything to make our stay comfortable; he and James were very hospitable, gave us really good recommendations and tips on restaurants, places, and what to visit in the city. The place is lovely, really cozy, and has everything you need. Had a great time! I would definitely recommend it!

Well kept and clean, Paolo was lovely. Great location, only a couple minutes from the station

Paolo was kind and attentive before and during our stay. He was waiting for us when our taxi arrived early in the morning from the airport and gave us a tour of the apartment building and his studio. We had plenty of clean towels and his food and site recommendations were very helpful and appreciated! Kings Cross is a fantastic location. We were able to walk everywhere and only needed bus transportation to get to Bondi Beach. We felt very comfortable and safe in the neighborhood. The apartment was clean and had a good view with amazing natural light from the windows. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was of good size and use for a studio. Our only issue was in the bathroom. It was a very tight fit and there was visible mold on the windows, tile-grout and ceiling. During our stay, the shower did not drain properly. Paolo was a phone call away, but unfortunately could not immediately solve the problem. He reached out to the building's administration, but a plumber was not available until after our departure.

Good place in good spot! Perfect bed but cam be a bit noisy during night but overall a good place, would recommend

We stayed two weeks in this cute little apartment. It's a very nice place to stay! Very close to Kings Cross Station and a Bus will take you to Watson's Bay. So get a Opal Card and explore the city! The apartment has everything you need, the kitchen is well equipped. We met Alessandro's partner James on arrival. He took very good care of us and had some good advices where to go! Thanks again for everything!

I have thought long and hard about how to review this place. First, communication was easy, it's well-located to trains and restaurants, and the kitchen is well-equipped. We were met at the apartment and given the keys and a tour. But. It's the first Airbnb place we stayed at that we felt wasn't accurately depicted: it looks much nicer than it actually is. The shower stall backs up as soon as the water is turned on, and many of the tiles in the shower are chipped and broken. The sheets had stains, and there were some bugs. It was only "bachelor" clean. It was our first major disappointment with Airbnb. This may seem harsh, but I don't want people to make the same mistake we did. Paolo and Max seem like really nice people, but we didn't feel that the description matched the place.

Words cannot describe how happy my boy friend and I were to have chosen to stay at Alessandro's place during our time in sydney (8 nights). Even though Alessandro was busy with work, he was extremely helpful in answering our questions and his bubbly partner James made it a point to welcome us when we arrived. The studio was absolutely cozy and every detail was extremely thoughtful; from the fluffy sheets to the brilliant decor, it made us feel like we were home away from home. Not to mention, the kitchen and bathroom had all that we needed for our stay. There were nights where we felt like just making a home-cooked meal with stuff bought from the supermarket (5 min away) and just cuddling up at home. On another night, we had take out from the pizzeria downstairs which had awesome pizza. How wonderful it was to have that kind of convenience! Also, while the studio was located in a quiet part of the neighborhood, in a few blocks down, the streets would come alive at night with clubs, bars and eateries aplenty. Alessandro's comprehensive manual guide recommends all the best activities/ places for everything nearby (including best coffee/ gelato/ brunch cafe) as the locals know it. We used it as reference quite a bit. The location was also perfect as the studio is situated in just a 10 min walk from King's Cross station. I loved how King's Cross has the right balance of being centralized, yet away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre/ CBD. I would just like to say thanks again Alessandro for making our stay perfect. I recommend this studio for anyone who wants to be in a homely environment while enjoying the perks of a great location.

I did enjoy the neighbor hood it was really easy to get around on the Subway system. The apartment was extremely hot during the day. I was under the impression this apartment had central air conditioning but There is only a fan. In Sydney that week the weather was really warm about 89 degree F. After the first night we left the windows open since it was so hot in the apartment and I woke up around 2 am with mosquito bits. The host was accommodating in this matter buy getting us additional fan and buy getting of off spay and bug candles. She also let us stay little longer on Friday sine there was no one checking into the area. I believe the host did what she could in the situation and was extremely helpful.

Madeleine is as her apartment is -- full of sunshine and golden! It's been an amazing stay in this sanctuary of hers. You can feel the love and heart of her home through its mindfully selected decor and coziness of her furniture... Location is wonderful too, as its close to your necessary amenities and only 25mins walk to the CBD for anything more! What a precious gem of a stay!

Tres bon sejour ! Appartement sympa dans un quartier top tres vivant (restaurants, bars et clubs), proche du centre ville ! Madeleine nous a accueilli comme il se doit ... Merci !

The flat was clean, spacious, well furnished, and very centrally located - right by Kings Cross station, within walking distance of the botanic gardens and Sydney Opera House, and only a short bus ride from Bondi beach. Madeleine was a very responsive host and made every effort to ensure that I had a good stay. The only downside about this location is that the windows do not seal up completely even when closed, so at times I had to deal with cigarette smoke or late-night noise from the neighbors coming right in through the windows. Other than that no issues whatsoever, though.

Madeleine very kindly let me stay in this lovely apartment, even though it was not especially convenient for her. She was helpful with the check-in process and flexible with check-out too. The listing was accurate, especially in relation to the excellent light. The kitchen was not large but perfectly functional and everything (including, crucially, the Wifi) worked. Madeleine has a great sense of style and is a thoughtful host. The location worked for me. The sleazy side of Kings Cross has become a caricature of itself.

We had a wonderful stay in Madeleine's studio. The space was clean and friendly, with extra little touches that made it feel homely - like coffee and speakers. Madeleine was a great host and very much made us feel welcome and comfortable. We really appreciated her being so relaxed about checking in and out. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Even though the studio is located only a few minutes from the busy Kings Cross station it is a very quite place. It has a decent size and it is perfect for a couple to stay for a few days. The host Madeleine is also very forthcoming and a delight to deal with. All in all I can really recommend this place and would stay there again if I get back to Sydney.

This is a cute little apartment in a great spot. Madeleine is a friendly host who made sure we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Very nice stay. Tat is a lovely host.

I had an excellent time staying with Tat, as did my friend Lauren. While we were there we couldn't stop gushing about how nice his place is! 10/10 Very easy to get to/from train station, Chinatown is an easy walk away. Enjoyed the great conversations we all had and I could not have asked for a nicer host or more beautiful accommodation!

The location of Tat's home is very close to Central Station and Crown St, great for traveling to/from the airport and for shops/restaurants nearby. Tat's home is beautifully furnished and very clean. Tat is also very helpful if you have questions about places to see around Sydney/restaurants/cafes/etc and overall very nice to talk to. Highly recommend.

Great place in a nice neighborhood close to everything Sydney! Nice host!

Tat is such a nice & caring host. His place is comfy.

A nice house in an awesome city. Tat is a good host. He made a very handy map of Sidney and gives you some tips for sightseeing. What can I say more after all those enthusiastic reviews¬? They are all true!

Tat was warm and hospitable throughout our short stay. His place was homely and highly accessibly, conveniently located within walking distance from the city and the train station. I'd definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a comfortable and chic place to stay!

Tat couldn't have been a better host. He was welcoming and friendly. Gave of his time and advice that made my stay in Sydney far more interesting and enjoyable. His house is an oasis of calm but very accessible to most of what you want in a Sydney experience. As near to home from home on the other side of the world, as possible!
