This house was even much better than the pictures portray, and it seriously looked like it should be in a magazine! If I had known how nice and comfortable it was, I would have never taken the time to compare it to other properties. I stayed here with one female friend for five nights in July 2016, and everything about our stay was perfect. Laura was very kind and friendly, and she responded to inquiries immediately. She had a companion meet us at the home and they allowed us to store our bags in the residence before the check-in time. The house was meticulously clean, and everything about it was very comfortable. The beds were comfortable, the showers were great (and gorgeous) and everything was in perfect working condition. The backyard was a dream, too, and we even grilled out a few nights.

Now, about the area: Before booking the home, I was concerned about the neighborhood based on the reviews, so I asked several locals about Woolloomooloo. Some said it was fine, but some said that they wouldn't walk there at night. Upon arriving at the residence, we were *so* relieved to find that the neighborhood was great. There was no need for concern, and in my opinion, no one (young or old, male or female) should hesitate to book this home because of the neighborhood. The home *is* located close to the public transit train tracks, but it did not bother us and it did not run all night. Furthermore, there *are* 15-20 homeless people immediately across the street and adjacent to the home, but they were very polite, the area they slept in was kept very clean, and we even began greeting each other in the mornings and evenings. There were really only homeless people on the very block this home was on, too..they're not all over the place. At no point did we feel concerned for our safety or comfort outside, day or night.

We found the location to be perfect, too..it was a very pretty neighborhood, everyone was friendly, we loved saying 'hi' to the neighbor's dogs, and it was a very easy, 15-20 minute walk to the CBD and harbor (most of which is through a park or the Botanical Gardens!) In fact, we liked the area so much that we were glad that we didn't stay in the CBD or closer to the harbor.

I would not hesitate to stay here again, and I would highly recommend this home to my friends. Thanks again, Laura!
