In one word - FANTASTIC!!! As my Uber pulled up in front of Velvet's building, there she was right there waiting for me with a big welcoming smile on her face! It was a wonderful way to arrive and be greeted. Velvet and I walked and talked as we made our way to the apartment. It's in the best location - the same level as the Sweet Street entrance. I will never forget that first view as Velvet opened the door! I could see straight through the apartment to the BALCONY and leafy street outside! I was struck by the beautiful golden hues of the sandstone tiles that hugged the perimeter of the balcony and set the scene for the chairs and tables set up there to enjoy the outdoors. The whole apartment is BRAND NEW and modern! The KITCHEN was SPARKLING - it has everything you need and more! There were also milks, eggs etc in the fridge - WOW! There is a washing machine, but I didn't use it because I was only in Sydney for 3 days and I don 't think that's fair on a Host for such a short stay anyway. The BATHROOM was BEAUTIFUL! Replete with a large shower and wall spanning mirrors. Again, Velvet had gone above and beyond by providing HIGH QUALITY top shampoo brands! The final stop was the BEDROOM - what a COMFORTABLE BED!!!! Mattresses of this quality are expensive and Velvet has spared no cost! The bed was meticulously dressed and looked so inviting. Needless to say, I slept like King. Make no mistake, this is not just a random apartment - this is Velvet and her husband's home and should be treated with respect. Velvet and I also got on like a house on fire and we immediately struck up great conversation. I felt so at home and absolutely appreciated the personal interaction. For me, that's the difference between AirBNB and a hotel. I enjoyed Velvet's company so much, I even asked her if we could catch up again over the weekend - but instead, we have decided to catch up in Melbourne so that I can reciprocate the hospitality and generosity that Velvet showed me. The LOCATION was perfect too - close to the AIRPORT as well as close to the city. I used UBER over my stay, which so cheap and easy from Velvet's Home. If I could give VELVET and her husband ONE MILLION STARS, I would!!!
