Marek was always available on the phone, well, message because I texted him 100% of the time. He and Zdenka, his wife, were so kind and checked up on me as I was busy with work and wasn't able to regularly update them nearing my arrival date.

The Powerhouse building is just as described. I was welcomed by Vlad, one of the current housemates and he made me feel at home. He showed where the bus stops and grocery store were which is about 2 - 5 mins walk from the apartment. Taro and Vlad are great conversationalists and it was nice to sit down and hang out with them in the kitchen when they're not busy working.

It was easy getting to the city. I personally prefer the bus (309 or 310) which will bring you directly to Central station. Please be mindful of the stops because you have no display on the bus or at the bus stop itself so having Googlemaps is very useful.

Another way is to walk to Green Square train station, which might be 10-15 mins walk, and take the train into the City.

This area is a quiet neighbourhood. No noise apart from the car whizzing past. Neighbours are respectful.

Amenities are great. Washing machine, dryer, stove and pretty much everything listed is in working order.

The bed is comfy. There is no windows in the room which isn't an issue for me. You have a wardrobe to hang and store your clothes and also the rest as shown in the photos. Rooms are not sound proofed so you will be able to hear everything.

I came to Sydney after visiting Melbourne and this Airbnb is just fantastic and exceeded my expectations. Everyone is so kind and the city, despite being one of the expensive cities in the world, is just heavenly. I'd strongly recommend this room to any travellers out there.

Tip: Intercom how-to >> enter the unit # starting with the digits followed by the alphabet. Also, get an Opal card the moment you reach the airport (there will be a surcharge if you top up/buy the card from convenience stores)
