Toby can only be described as a phenomenal Airbnb host: Kind, down-to-earth, friendly, helpful and honest. His place was also everything I was looking for, and made me feel like I had my own home away from home - which was extra handy for making the most an unfamiliar area.

Toby went out of his way to meet and greet me to ensure a problem-free check-in. He was proactive in providing useful information that made my stay an absolute pleasure, and at all times made me feel welcome and part of his home as if it were my own.

Despite access to the space being through a shared living room area, this place could just as easily have been listed as an Entire Home - I had complete privacy and uninterrupted access to my exclusive space throughout the entire duration of my stay. This truly was a hidden gem!

The area is also fantastic. Just a short walk to the Bondi Junction shopping district, train and bus stations, as well as a stone's throw to the beautiful beaches of the Eastern Suburbs.

Despite being in great proximity to everything I could have wanted, I also felt relaxed and at ease living in the beautiful suburban neighborhood of Randwick.

Whether you're looking for a great host or prioritize a great location (or both) - Toby and his place is the place to stay! I'm only giving 5-starts because 6 wasn't an option!
