Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Julie W., Melbourne Feb 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thankyou Alan for being so responsive during our stay. Large newly built home. Clean and tidy. Ducted air con very welcome during the hot and humid weather this week in Sydney. We appreciated being able to bring our two dogs along. Located on a busy Sydney road with traffic 24/7. Double glazing helps reduce the noise to a level which does not disturb. Alan was always quickly responsive when we had a few little issues. Location convenient to inner suburbs. Lovely outdoor kitchen. Big indoor kitchen which was lovely to use but needs a users approach to stocking and organising same. We arrived at night and it was a bit of a pain to unload our cars in the side street and carry everything around to the front door of the property. Not very safe as there is no footpath and building works and uneven ground from the car to the house. Hopefully this will be completed soon. ##### Julie W. Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jack H. Nov 17, 2024 ##### Jack H. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wayne T., Salt Lake City/USA Jul 13, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The location is very to get around Sydney Alan is a great host! He is very responsive to questions we had about the area, local eateries recommendations. The train station is very closed to the property. So it’s very convenient to and from the international airport. However, because the house is right at the intersection of the streets so traffic noise is expected. Light sleeper might need ear plugs to sleep better. House is quite modern and cleaned. ##### Wayne T. Stayed 4 nights in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alannah M. Jul 11, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great space with easy access to airport We were only there one night, but it was a great setup for a large 2-family group and everything was clean and comfortable. Close to the airport and plenty of on-street parking! ##### Alannah M.
