I travelled with my family - my husband and 3 daughters all below the age of 15, and it was our first time in Australia ... and Scott and Sams home allowed us to see the sights and explore the neighborhood and come home to a relaxing and safe environment where we could unwind and kick our feet up (so to speak) after a long day of walking and exploring! would i recommend their home?!? The quick answer is — Absolutely! No hesitations whatsoever 💕
The long answer is listed below 😊.
First thing i look for in an airbnb is safety and accessibility to public transportation. Scott’s home is close to a police station and on our first day, we saw two policemen astride these gorgeous huge horses patrolling the streets! it’s close to a number of bus stops, ranging from 3-10 minute walks away. Central station is about a 10 minute walk away as well. It was also close to a grocery 😊 (a personal plus for me!)
Comfort is also something I appreciate, which is why i prefer bnb to hotels if i’m on a long vacation with family! Scott’s home is exactly that - a HOME! i must mention though that it’s a split level home, so if you don’t mind walking up and down a flight of stairs, then you will enjoy just chilling in the living room on the first level or downstairs in the family area, both of which have tv sets with access to netflix (a plus for the kids 🤣). The bedrooms were nice and neat and well maintained.
Last, I always check on the reviews on hospitality - and Scott and Sam went over and above that. On our first night there, they found out that, due to a system problem, the internet service provider would be down. If you ask me, these things happen - but they kept updating us and trying to find ways around it. Each time they needed to come to set up a modem or a new provider (which happened twice) they checked if we would be home and if it would be convenient for them to drop by - they let us know when they arrived and when they left. They handled it professionally and responsibly, and we really appreciated the effort! They are quick to respond and most easy to deal with. It’s no wonder they are listed as superhosts !!
