I was a longish-term guest in this Randwick apartment. I came for an extended work visit, and the location was perfect for me. The neighborhood is extremely clean and quiet, which I loved. The apartment is very easy to access and is close to shopping, bus routes, gyms, and some lovely parks.
The apartment itself is very cute and clean. I was a little worried about finding places for everything I would bring with me for a long term stay since I didn't want to feel like I was living out of a suitcase. I didn't need to worry. The apartment is very cleverly organized. There is a lot of closet, drawer, and cupboard space in which to place everything you have (and more) without feeling cramped. The apartment, although a studio, feels roomy and open. There are a lot of windows, so you have options for lots of sunlight and fresh air. The furniture is comfortable, the wifi was strong and fast, and the apartment came with everything I needed for a comfortable stay, including cleaning products, pots, pans, a washer and dryer, and a dishwasher. In the one case that I noticed something I needed wasn't in the apartment (some baking trays...because who doesn't want to make brownies every once in a while?), Mike, the host, was able to quickly provide what I needed. The apartment was a great home away from home for me, close enough to the city and the beaches to be able to site see, but also far enough away from those things that I could retreat into a safe, relaxing, quiet environment in the evenings and on the weekends. I also appreciated the keyless entry for the apartment, which was very convenient.
As for the host, I can't say enough. Mike was prompt and proactive about providing information and answers to questions about the apartment and the area. He left a welcome basket and an "owner's manual" in the apartment when I arrived. If I ever had questions or needs, he responded quickly. He even checked up on me periodically to make sure I had what I needed. He was the best host I have ever had during an Airbnb stay. I highly recommend both the apartment and the host!
