I travelled from Wellington, New Zealand to Sydney and stayed in Anita's studio for more than a month. Anita is the kind of host which makes me love to go to book on AirBnb.

As I flied in the very early morning, Anita was flexible and helpful by arranging a early check-in and also coordinated very well to get the room and linens cleaned as new before I arrived. It is a very welcoming experience which may not be possible even for a hotel.

As I came to Sydney for work, I booked in advanced to secure a place so that I can concentrate on work for my first month as new joiner. The studio is wonderful in a quiet location. You won't have many people and therefore no noise at all from the streets. Well, the area is a house-area, you won't find too many people around, which suits my perference well. Anita provided very informative guides for me about how to get to the city, where to do shopping and what does the travel usually be to me. I knew nothing about Sydney, I feel thankful that she is such a considerate and helpful person which helps me, as a working single lady, a lot.

The other thing is, Shire area may be one of the safest place in Sydney. As a traveller, it has to be taken into account, at least for me, it makes me feel secured and I can walk to Oyster Bay to enjoy the view there. Anita's house also has a very large backyard. She told me it can reach the George River(not too sure if itis the right name), but I was just too busy at work and went out on weekends so I did not walk that much in her backyard. But it is definitely a gorgeous backyard.

The room is clean and tidy. It has wardrobe which is already large enough for me as a working female for a month. Understanding my clothes are working clothes, Anita also provided me with some cloth hangers - so nice. You need to know that a good host is not granted, some people may just say you buy them on your own in the supermarket. The studio also has a compact and handy kitchen for simple cooking, coffee and tea, and breakfast. I am a lazy person who does not like to cook very often, but I enjoyed the kitchen for bread and tea very much.

The bed is comfortable and Anita also provided me with feather pillows which is very nice of her. She also has some European Pillows for me to choose from, but I am fine with the simple small cushions. There is a desk and a chair, I used Anita's wifi to read news, check emails, on-line shopping, etc, all good without a problem.

I stayed for more than a month and I will definitely recommend Anita's studio for any Airbnb travellers. It is just fantastic.
