Helene sold me Airbnb. This was my first time using this type of accommodations and it was the perfect union. Do you have a family member whom you enjoy visiting? Well, Helene is mine. She is now my sista from another mother. Easy to get along with, caring, generous, clean, tidy, personable, and extremely helpful. After one conversation with her, I felt like I knew her and Sydney all my life and I was ready to go off and explore on my own. She provided breakfast and when at home, we shared breakfast together. She went beyond her call of duty as a host and showed me around Sydney. I was able to see places that I would not have visited without her assistance. It was also refreshing to have her respond to my text messages in a timely fashion. I could go on forever, but about the place. The accommodations were quite pleasant, extremely clean, and well-organized. The bedroom, equipped with a very comfortable queen-sized bed and ample warm, cozy blankets/comforters, has French doors that open onto the lovely back garden, which is a wonderful retreat from busy Sydney. The residence is located close to all modes of transportation…with the trains, ferries, and buses all within walking distance.
For me, this was a new and delightful means of accommodations. One that has changed my view of Airbnb. Helene set the bar really high for future hosts. I consider this my second home...if and when I am in Australia again. Thanks Helene...you are the hostess with the mostest!!!!
