This was one of the best Airbnb experiences I’ve ever had, and I’ve had a lot. Deb and Hans were the most incredible hosts! They made our stay purely memorable. Hans helped orchestrate a surprise for my husband’s 60th birthday, And even made sure to be there to video the occasion for us. Throughout our stay, they provided tips, treats (I’m now addicted to TimTams), and just consistently went above and beyond. On our last night, we invited them to join us for a cookout at home, and it was one of the most memorable experiences I’ve had on a vacation. They are both hospitable, service oriented, completely communicative, down to earth, and incredibly gracious. We feel like we’ve made friends for life. A five-star rating isn’t enough; they should get a 10 star rating. If you get a chance to stay with them, make sure you do so!
By the way, if you’re scared off by the idea of not staying right in downtown Sydney, don’t be. It’s an easy walk to the ferry, but there’s so much to do in Balmain, you might even forget to go into CBD once or twice! Don’t overlook this gem of a neighborhood.
