We had a 2 nights and 3 days stay in this accommodation.
The photos were looking good, but it could not guarantee the comfortable stay.
There were several items that we would like to mentions about this.
Let me write some good things first and some matters that require attention later.
Good things: 1) The host accepted our luggage earlier than average login time: we placed our luggage around 11:00 -11:30 am, and it is convenient for us back to City area without our heavy luggage.
2) House location to Central Station: It is around 15 minutes walking distance, and it is a good location. 3) Sydney Surry Hills: We realised that it is quite a popular area, and there are many landmarks on this area: diverse range of cafes and restaurants, Heritage building: Bourke Street Public School, traditional Victorian terraced houses.
Some matters that require attention: 1) During two nights of our stay, the host had other guests of host’s family.
Especially, On the second day, they had a party for their friend’s birthday, when we arrived the house around 7 pm, it was already middle of party and many people occupied in the kitchen area so, we had to stay in our room and can’t not use the kitchen or living room.
We asked her when the party would be finished, and she advised us that we should understand the situation as the house is their home.
Although, we were very uncomfortable to stay in the room, we did not tell it anymore as there were many adults were drunken
The party was finished after 10:00 pm.
2) Privacy issue: the room door left open, and it can not be locked.
3) With the price of one night per $160, we could stay at four star Hotel, and there would be the privacy of stay.
There were guests of host from morning to evening.
In the future, If anyone would like to find the accommodation with private house, it would be essential to ask whether they would have party during their stay as the condition would be different in every places.
