I stayed in a number of great places using Air BnB in Sydney, but at none of them did I feel more relaxed, welcome and comfortable than in Marie's home.

If you want an antiseptic, sterile dwelling with no character or warmth, then don't choose Marie's home, however if you want a host with no airs and graces, who will make you feel like one of the family, then this is the place for you.

Added to that the bustle of Randwick, and the wonderful East Sydney beaches are just a short stroll away.

If I return to Sydney, I certainly hope to be staying here again.
