Overall nice and big house, equipped with all amenities. We stayed here for 9 months, so we have also added extra kitchenware and furniture that the next people can use. A big bonus is free access to a shared swimmingpool and tenniscourt less than 5 minutes walk from the house.
A few downsides:
- The internet is provided from the next door house (where the owners live) via extention and signal can only be reached in the kitchen - and even there it works really slow.
- The madrasses on the beds except for one bedroom are extremely firm.
The house is in a quiet and safe area which is nice when you are a family. However, neither the station, nor the mall is in walking distance so would only recommend to those that travel by car.
The owners are overall very nice and helpful. However, this is also a business to them, so they are understandbly trying to keep costs as low as possible. This also means that the 20% discount that you get for longer stays are not really 20%, since you then have to pay all bills (water, gas and electricity). To be fair they told us this from the beginning, but it is not stated at the airbnb homepage. Additionally they may try to get you to cover other cost such as things that breaks down while you are there, so we recommend that you go through the house with them upon arrival and again before you leave, to make sure you agree on what was already not functioning.
Other than that we would definitely recommend the house, if you have some business in western sydney or want to stay in a cheaper place than what you can find in the city center.
