We had the most magnificent time staying with Maggie and Thorsten! They were so kind and welcoming and truly extended their home and friendship to my travel mate and I. They were very accommodating and made our first few nights in Sydney absolutely amazing. Also, Maggie and Thorsten have done a lot of traveling and recommended some great activities that we included during our current travels.
The room is exactly as it appears online and although it's by the train tracts, I can honestly say the noise did not bother us at all (not to mention the location is extremely convenient). They provided us with two adult opal cards, maps of the city and metro/bus line, ear plugs (even though we did not need them), a delicious home cooked meal and many recommendations during our first few days of exploring. Six out of five stars for sure, I highly recommend staying with these two lovely people.
