It was a large, well-proportioned room, handsomely fitted up.The hosts even prepared candles,CD player ,adapter for (URL HIDDEN) a pity that we just stayed for a couple of hours ,I hope we can spend more time in the house when I come to Sydney next time.

I was lucky enough to stay in this unit; as I am frequently in Sydney, I guess I have a good benchmark on what the local market looks like. Location wise, it's where I'd want to be and would recommend; close to transportation (central station is walkable), the CBD, Surrey Hills gastronomic hot spot... The thing is, this unit is special as in a quiet street and has this cosiness and unique charm essence to it, it really stands out for its interior. All appliances one would expect were available and well functioning. Despite a severe heat wave during my stay, the flat remained rather cool I didn't even need the aircon on for sleeping. Personally I hope to be staying in the unit again and use it as a base when in Sydney for some duration, it is just perfect for a single or couple.

Thanks Noa for being such a flexible and communicative host. Despite not seeing Noa, she was very helpful and made checking in a breeze. The place is unique, clean and the bed is too comfy. Could sleep in it all day. the place is a dream home to me filled with unique decor pieces, books and even tea provided. We will definitely be back!

Perfect, easy, comfortable.

Great location and perfect little place, Noa is a great host and I would highly recommend this property

Noa is an amazing host, she provided us great advices. The place is absolutely amazing: we loved the modern and zen decoration, all the details, romantic vibes. It's really easy to walk in the center of Sydney, only 7m walk from the Central Station. The area is really cool, trendy with cafés and restaurants, shops... we definitely recommend this place and hope to come back soon!

Very satisfied with my stay,I received a warm welcome and Noa kept in touch to make sure things were going ok.Lovely apartment and location.There is plenty to see in Surry hills and great transport links to the city or beautiful beaches.

Great location- super close to city and excellent restaurants. Studio is beautifully designed and decorated. Noa is a great host, very accommodating. We would love to stay here again next time we visit Sydney.

Wrapping up a 3-month overseas business trip with a 3:30am wake-up call for a flight from Cairns to Sydney, we were thrilled to be treated to a warm and welcoming place to unwind and catch up - Dean and Bron's gorgeous place in Surry Hills. Prior to arrival Dean emailed us with airport distance/taxi information and we found that very helpful. We were greeted by Bron (and the fab scents of her candles) and felt right at home. We were made welcome to coffee, tea, wine, and wonderful company throughout our stay. Shone to our room, we deposited our bags and headed out to see the neighborhood. And what a neighborhood, beautiful wrought-iron balconied rowhouses that one might only dream of seeing inside. There was so much to do, see, and eat in walking distance - including the Bourke Street Bakery (don't miss the almond praline croissant!). Dean and Bron were spot on with recommendations and directions. Back home for the evening, the room was perfect with a small balcony, comfortable bed, mirrored dresser, fresh towels, and a beautiful bathroom just across the hall. The toiletries - shampoo, conditioner, body wash - were sensational, a special, thoughtful touch. Dean was generous with his wi-fi code and we checked email using his smoking hot network. We highly recommend a stay with Dean and Bron at their amazing Surry Hills home. Why: * fast replies and complete, valuable communication *beautiful, upscale home and welcoming environment * hip, safe, walkable neighborhood plus walking distance to the CBD or public transportation * "locals only" insight on what to see, where to eat, how to get around * one of Bron's scent-sational travel candles as a welcome gift Looking for a place to stay in the stylish Surry Hills neighborhood? Don't pass on a visit to Dean and Bron's.

Dean & Bron's place is really cool and they are so nice people. They offered me very useful advice for local traffic and nice food and restaurants. Love their adorable dogs and pets. Neighbors are kind and surry hills is a beautiful suburb close to everything. Really enjoyed my stay with them.

We felt immediately at home upon entering Dean and Bron's beautiful home. Everything from a cup of hot tea to their son's kindness in carrying our luggage to our room made it feel more like we were at a good friend's home, rather than someone we had just met. The accommodations were exactly as we expected, the house being decorated with Bron's flair for artistic expression. George and Silbey were two of the most chill dogs ever. Dean and Bron had fantastic recommendations for activities and restaurants and the neighborhood is charming, unique, and very walkable. We didn't have a car and we didn't need one. Highly recommended!

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.

I enjoyed my stay in this beautiful house. Dean and his son are friendly and gave us some good advice during our stay.

The reservation was canceled 59 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Dean & Bron's place was great. I stayed there for a week and Bron, her son, and their dogs made me feel very welcome. The house is very well decorated, location is amazing for exploring Surry Hills, and the street is very quiet. Would recommend staying here.

I was just back from Vietnam with my apartment airbnb'd until the next day, when my guests departed. So although a short stay, it was just what a jet lagged traveler needed, chilled, comfy, welcoming. Even the cats & dogs were totally laid back. If you're fortunate enough to book this central Sydney pad, you'll love it! I'll be recommending Bron & Dean's pad to friends. Happy New Year guys & thanks for the lovely homemade candle :)

Mel is very easy going and organized. Lots of little extras such as bread and spreads for breakfast, tea and coffee, shower items and moisturizer and mosquito repellant etc

Mel's place is exactly like the pictures. Open, light, and spacious. Perfect location with respect to the Redfern train station, door to 'door' it takes 20 minutes to get to Circular Quay. Mel is a perfect host, and her dog Harry is adorable :) We would definitely stay again.

Mel is a great host. She's very easy going and so laid back. Her room is bright and lots of natural light. Harry her labradoodle) was so sweet. Harry greeted me with one big woof and she is friendly. Like what Mek said, Harry wouldn't even hurt a fly. Staying with Mel is a great experience with lots of flexibility. Mel is radiating like a sunny day on the beautiful Australian weather. I love her photos. She's a very talented photographer. The location is very strategic and a stone throw from the bus stop and public transportation. It's close to everything. Will definitely stay with Mel again when I come back to Sydney.

Mel was a fantastic host, she was up to meet me even though my check-in was quite late and so lovely to talk too! Her adorable and very well trained dog Harry was also there to gave me a very warm welcome :) The offer of a cup of tea , warm shower, lovely clean home and very comfortable bed were just what I needed after a big day of travelling. Mel also gave me great directions and recommendations, don't even bother checking (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN), just ask Mel! All in all a great stay, would definitely stay again if I'm back in Sydney!

I had a good time at Mel's home. She was always very helpful. The dog of her, Harry, was also cute! The house was such nice with great arts, a terrace and a comfortable living room. I had everything that I needed in my room and the bed was very comfortable, too. In addition it's just a few minutes with the bus to the Hyde Park (to the city). There is a supermarket (5 minutes away), a park and a swimming pool in the neighbourhood. So the location is absolutely perfect!

Mel was helpful, warm and welcoming, even before I arrived. Her place is attractive. I loved the old features and the warmth of the timber in the bedroom. Mel went out of her way to make my stay enjoyable.

Had a short stay with Mel and Harry but made to feel very welcome and had a lovely time in the Redfern/Surry Hills area. Close to transport links, lots of nice cafes/restaurants within walking distance, and a nice spacious bedroom to come back to. Shared bathroom but never felt like we were intruding. Mel was lovely and inviting and Harry was very friendly too.

I was the first visit to Sydney. And It was a good place I could relax I can use Mel's house as my home. I appreciate Mel and her boyfriend welcomed me.

I absolutely loved my stay at Chris's apartment in Surry Hills. The apartment is clean and tidy and well fitted out with everything I could need for my stay. Even the bed was super comfortable. It is walking distance to Central Station and even the CBD. There are so many cool cafes, restaurants and bars all in the vicinity. Not only did the apartment exceed my expectations, Chris has been an extremely gracious host and I loved all the added touches to the flat. He gave me some fantastic recommendations for local spots in the area. I would highly recommend staying here and look forward to my next visit. Thanks Chris!

Excellent stay in a very clean modern but rustic house. Perfect location for access to the CBD and one of the best hosts I've stayed with.

I am speechless! You guys are amazing. Her house is very lovely and clean. Her cats, Sebbedy (I hope it's written correctly), V8 and Ms. Hubble are adorable!!! I just want to say: Thank you guys for everything and see you next year! :-) Best wishes, Milad

Our first airbnb experience and we couldn't have been more happy. Mary was unfortunately away for business but her partner was home and was extremely nice and welcoming. Definitely recommend staying with Mary as the house was very clean, the sunny room was very home-like and beautiful, and the location is near everything including a large train station that is a 2 minute walk away.

The room is absolutely lovely, sunny, clean and located in a quiet neighbourhood. Unfortunately I didn't get to meet Mary but Steve and Hugh were delightful and extremely accommodating and helpful. The easy walk to Redfern station makes travelling around Sydney very quick. I had an amazing stay and would definitely recommend Mary's place :)

Both Steve and Mary were welcoming and polite, and Mary was very informative with directions on how to get to the house prior to the trip and ready to give recommendations during our stay. The room and house in general was clean and well kept, and the room had been well thought out, with books, TV to keep you entertained if need be, an instruction booklet, and even water was put out for the guests. The house itself was aesthetically pleasing and definitely does not lack character, guests are made to feel at home with access to the coffee machine, laundry and even the backyard to relax. The only downfalls are that the cats can be a little distracting (but friendly nonetheless) and the room lacks a door, and is hence a minor take away from privacy, but my companion and I were admittedly loud on the first night due to our excitement. Overall a pleasant stay, and I would recommend it!

Mary wasn't around when we got there but her partner Steve was there to help us out with everything we needed to make our stay a comfortable one. The place was very accomodative and fully equipped with anything you propbably need in a house. Tucked in a cozy neighbourhood, walking distance to a lot of eateries and the train station, we will definitely consider coming back again next time we are in Sydney

very nice room,spacious! We could open our 2 big luggages and still walk around freely! The place is less than 5 mins walk from Redfern! Steve is very friendly and even gave us tips on traveling in Sydney! The farmers market is just a street away on Saturday morning! 1 stop away to central station and another few stops to circular quay! Highly recommend for all!

Mary's house is fantastic and the room is just what you need for staying in Sydney. The room is exactly like the photos. Location wise is perfect! Definitely recommend!

Mary's house is very nice and clean on a quite street but convenient for coffee. Mary sent me the message telling me she is oversea and her neighbor Hugh would look after us if there is any need. Hugh cared about us when we arrived and also give us information about where close to eat at a good time.We enjoyed our stay and definitely recommend it.Thanks Mary. Thanks Hugh.

Tash had incredible attention to detail The apartment is perfect in every way So close to everything but nice and quiet Lovely linen and great to have a coffee machine I highly recommend

Tash's place is a class unit in a trendy spot. Easy to find if you drive to Sydney being just off the M1 and then close to the buses.A range of eating options handy or if you wish to eat in fully equiped and close to supermarkets. Tasha has thje knack of making guests feel very welcome.

This place is so great, I even tried to extend my stay. Great little spot in a cool neighbourhood that has a real "locals" feel. Tash is a local herself and had great tips of cafes and bars on the nearby streets, and she was on hand if I needed anything. Everything I needed and more. Thanks :)

Tash has a really great place and an awesome setup for any stay in Sydney. The location is great and the place itself is immaculate. I can highly recommend it!

The place looks even better than the pictures. Incredible location & felt right at home. Tash was so accommodating & excellent with flight delays and bad weather. Cannot wait to stay here again!

Another fantastic experience! Location, service and hospitality - perfect.

Fabulous spot. Very clean and comfortable.

Gabriel was a great host, prompt responses, stress free self checkin and checkout, it was lovely that Gabriel let us know that he was contactable at anytime if required. The host house is exactly as the pictures display it, it was clean, beautifully decorated, small, but big enough for two people, fantastic location to the beach, cafes , clubs and public transport.

superior equipment. Very beautiful view. Very quiet location. Value priced. To recommend.

Perfect location and mint apartment

Amazing apartment in such a good position. It was like staying in a five star luxury hotel. And the unit is a dedicated space so not staying in someone's house. Gabriel's communications and helpfullness were also spot on. Definitely a next level experience.

The cozy apartment is private with modern furnishings & a well-equipped kitchen. It's close to the beach & airport. I'd highly recommend James & Robyn's place!

Communication when making the booking and before arriving was good. The accommodation was as described, very nicely presented and clean and tidy. We were made to feel welcome and given a tour of the accommodation. The off street parking was good considering that parking can sometimes be tricky in the Sydney suburbs. The accommodation suited our needs very well and we would be happy to stay there again.

The host canceled this reservation 48 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

the room was very convenient and very close public transportation.

We enjoyed our stay in Sydney at James' studio. Welcoming and cosy, with all you need. Big enough for 3 of us, close to shops and bus stop.

Housing in perfect match to the descriptif.Le neighborhood was very convenient to shopping and public transportation to discover SYDNEY

Very modern and new granny flat that has everything you need. My mother, brother and I stayed for 2 nights and had wonderful time going to the beaches (only 5min drive) and local food. James was very helpful and although we didn't require any help the main house was few meters away so we could always ask something if needed. We will be back for sure!

We really enjoyed our stay in James' apartment while we visited Sydney. When we arrived, James and his family were not present - However, they managed to get the keys to us and we got to settle in quickly after our arrival. James and his family left us to enjoy the small studio during our stay, and we had only interacted when we needed help with something. The studio was a fantastic little spot, with its own kitchen and bathroom so we could still do what we needed without having to disturb our hosts. The bed was comfortable, and in addition there was a small airbed that was used by a friend who joined us for part of the trip. While this apartment was a little further away from the city than I thought it to be, it was really convenient to catch a bus to get into the city. The bus stops were less than a ten-minute walk away, and you can easily catch a bus into the city or to Bondi Junction. The shops nearby were also easily accessible, making it easy for us to buy any necessary groceries. Our only gripe about this apartment would probably be the lack of WiFi, which James has already mentioned in the listing - Sometimes we do get a signal but most times you would have to be in the courtyard to be able to utilise it. Overall, our stay was a very pleasant one and we really enjoyed ourselves. We would definitely recommend this apartment to our friends who are looking for an Airbnb place to stay during their holiday to Sydney.

Very clean excellent location

Nice place in calm location, looks very safe. If you wish you will have lot of privacy too. Also to mention, everything was very clean. But if you prefer to sleep late in the morning expect to be waked up by air trafic, Maroubra is not far from airport. During night this is not a problem, you'll sleep well.

Joy has been a very helpful and responsible host, as I arrived in Sydney early in the morning whilst she tried to let me check in as early as she can and being flexible. The room is also spacious enough, no problem with it.

Nice place to live for visitors or students, 15 minutes walk to bus and shops,

Joy is very nice and helpful!

Joy's place was wonderful! Very clean and spacious. Close walk to lots of cafes and restaurants. Easy and great communication. Definitely would recommend to anyone traveling to Sydney!

Joy and her family are wonderful. They helped me a lot when I had troubles. When I arrived at the airport early in the morning,they tried to pick me up.

Joy is a very kind person an are willing to help. Nice place. Very comfortable.

Vilma and Giselle are beautiful people and very accommodating hosts. The house has a cool, artsy, beachy atmosphere and the room is very cosy and comfortable. This is the second time my partner and I have stayed here and it is my favourite place to stay in Sydney. We will definitely be back next time we are in the city.

Vilma made us feel extremely welcome to her paradise by the beach. Her self renovated home oozed the artist flair which she displays in all her works of art - colourful, creative, functional and spacious. An pleasurable stay!

The room and home were just as described and pictured, lovely and arty and homely. Vilma and her daughter were very welcoming and warm, and the entire home was lovely and clean.

Vilma's house is really amazing filled with artwork and surrounded by the views of the sea. The place is clean and has all the comforts needed for a place to stay in. Vilma is friendly and a great host as well!

No view of the sea, not a gorgeous bedroom, no french doors or palm trees. The listing description is designed to deceive.

Vilma was really warm and welcoming. Location was good, only a short walk down to the beach and public transport links. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Vilma has been such a lovely host. Her house is beautiful and clean. You can use several spots for relaxing and you are free using the kitchen. There is only one negative point: the mattress is not comfortable. However, we would still recommend Vilma's announcement!

We had wonderful days at Vilma and her daughter Giselle. We felt from the first moment welcome. Vilma and Giselle gave us useful tips for Sydney. We had a nice cozy room and were allowed to many parts of the house to share, including kitchen and garden. The house and garden are very tastefully decorated. have particularly enjoyed the personal conversations during the week, so that our stay has felt more like a visit with distant friends or relatives.

Due my reason, I have not live in, but Linda is so sweet and helpful...

Thanks Linda and Cathal, it was very relaxing to stay at your place. Very comfy and homely! Matt

Very nice place, Linda and Cathal are extreamly lovely!

A lovely room in a beautiful home with welcoming hosts.

A small but calm, peaceful house in a location that suited me. Maroubra shops, cafes etc short drive away. Lovely friendly host. Great value.

Very nice stay We have stay here one night and everything was lovely ( house , hosts and Hank ) Park in front of the house With a nice kitchen We definitly recommend Thank you again

Very pleasure to meet Naomi and Anton, friendly kind hearted helpful, the love to host and meet people all around the world. It'a a shame that we only stay one night. Wish you all sweet loving with your new addition to the family :) Cheers.

Naomi's place is delightful, and the room is spacious and comfortable. For me, being of a mature age, I found the walk up the hill to the house a little challenging! However, the hospitality received was well worth the effort! Thank you Naomi for a great stay.

Maroubra Junction has good public transport to airport, beaches and city. There are many shops and restaurants within 5min walking. Downstairs are the kitchen and lounge and upstairs the bedrooms. Thank you Larry for the bbq - one of the best steaks I ever had. The 2 dogs are well trained and very well behaved.

Larry and Carissa, and their two cute dogs of course, were fabulous hosts!!Even though the house is quite old and a little dark, it is very well equipped and perfectly situated close to all kinds of stores and several bus stops that take you into the city center or to the airport within a couple of minutes. We really enjoyed our stay at their home in our super lovely and cosy room and would always come back whenever we are in Sydney again!

The room is spacious and clean, nice couple with nice dogs, my first experience at Airbnb did make me feel like at home

Very gracious and welcoming hosts - had a few nice chats and a BBQ. Great, clean comfy room, and the dogs were really friendly and fun to play with. I was moving to Sydney rather than having a holiday, and the surrounding area was a really great place as a central HQ to get settled, due to its close proximity to a major transport hub and being in an area with lots of cheap housing. The public transport hub is a huge plus and makes it a great holiday room as well.

Larry and...can't remember her name off the top of my head but Christie? Are lovely hosts, the room was large, well decorated, clean and very comfortable. The dogs are absolutely lovely and very friendly and Larry was particularly great at giving advice for how to get around the city/things I should go see. Location was great, almost equal distance from the airport, Bondi and the city, would definitely recommend.

This room in Maroubra was very nice. Outside the bustle of the city of Sydney but close to bus stops that get you to all the main attractions. Larry was helpful in giving suggestions in what to visit and how best to get there. I felt very welcome in the house.

The room looks exactly like in photos, the hosts were very friendly and helpful. I won't be original here but as everybody before me, I must say that the dogs are adorable :) the place is in walking distance to buses going to the city, airport and beaches. There are many shops and restaurants in the area. Wifi works very well. I really recommend staying at Larry's place.

Both Larry and Carissa welcomed us nicely on the day we arrived. They tried to prepare all the essentials for us. They let us use their kitchen, bathroom, television as we wished. The house is really close to the bus stop, only 30 mins to the city which made our life quite convenient. It was a nice peaceful stay in their house.

Thanks to John for making our weekend away so easy! The place was wonderful; amazing location and view, super handy, and beautifully furnished! We would definitely come back! Thanks so much!

Olivia is a very nice host. She is very polite and ready to solve any problems. She catches up with us everyday during our stay. This room is also very close to beach and supermarket.

We really enjoyed this place. It is just lovely! Comfortable and extremely clean. The host is also lovely. The area is residential and quiet and within easy short distance to the beach and shops. We will definitely consider it next time we come to Maroubra. We strongly recommend this place.

I had a great time at Olivia's place, and I recommend it to everyone who looks for a clean and peaceful accommodation.

Olivia is the most welcoming host I have ever stayed with. The room is tastefully decorated and with the outdoor area right next to the pool a great place to stay. Really easy walk to the beach. Thank you.

Olivia was very friendly and always made sure we were comfortable. The home was lovely, and the amenities were great. Would highly recommend!

Awesome!

I highly recommend Olivia's place. We had a relaxing five nights there. Olivia is a wonderful, gracious host and her home is lovely. It is on a peaceful, quiet street with no noise or traffic, and is a few minutes walk to the beach and downtown Maroubra. The room meticulously clean, and is very nicely furnished as a Balinese retreat with a comfortable bed, table, sofa and amenities for making breakfast. The pool was a welcome relief for cooling off after busy days exploring downtown Sydney and the local beautiful beaches. There is no air conditioning - (which we found to be fairly common in Australia in even high end homes and apartments). Olivia provided a fan, and with the pool out our door to cool off, we were comfortable, even on the days of over 35 degrees C (98+ F) The bus stop is literally right across the street and takes you directly to Circular Quay. The market is one block away, making it easy to pick up any necessities - and your Opal card. It was so pleasant to have breakfast and coffee on the deck overlooking the pool or relax with a glass of wine after a long day of exploring Sydney. Olivia was very helpful in providing any information we needed before and during our stay. If peace and quiet is important then this is the place for you.

Olivia's studio is beautiful and we reconmend it to others! Thanks for having us stay! Regards

I'm glad to be the first guest at their house, comfy room for a good price.
