This was truly a 5 star stay all round. The apartment was so spacious, stylish and central, it really made our stay. It is a charming property that has been loving decorated with quality items, it feels like a real home (as it is!).
I know Sydney well so knew what I was getting with the area. It's really central to both city and eastern suburbs, right on the water and the edge of a massive park. Two train stations nearby and a bus outside the door. Plus everything is so close we caught a lot of ubers which was helpful with older parents who are less mobile.
The apartment has two very decent size, comfortable bedrooms - when you are travelling with large suitcases from abroad, it is so nice to be able to relax in a space big enough to not trip over each other and your suitcases. Each room has a big bed, quality towels and linen, plenty of wardrobe space, and lots of floor space for suitcases not to get in the way.
The open plan kitchen and dining meant we felt really comfortable to have some meals at home. The kitchen and house in general is well stocked with quality items that you get when the Airbnb has the owners stuff in it.
They provide all the basics so you don't have to go and get your own which was really helpful - shower gel, laundry detergent, washing up liquid etc.
There is also a separate lounge room that is also very spacious and comfortable with large sofas for relaxing, and a park view.
Sydney accommodation in general is very expensive but we were so happy we went with this place. It was money well spent and made our trip enjoyable.
The owners live abroad so have a local support team who were excellent. They were on text message with speedy replies to anything and everything we needed. Super helpful.
They were also really flexible allowing both early check in, slightly later check out and to leave our bags after check out which we really appreciated. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone. The only thing that could go wrong is that you'll fall in love with it and want to move to Sydney! :-)
Oh and they have aircon which is quite rare in sydney!!
