I can certainly understand the hype that exists in regards to Michael‘s place.
It is a beautiful little pad that has everything you need for a short stay in Sydney. This is complimented by an array of thoughtful little things like a filled espresso machine, water in the fridge or little snacks.
The location of the place is scenic if a little far from the city for my taste. It’ll take you about 15 minutes to Bondi and an hour+ into the city. Also, the views are more of a reward for ascending the steps to the pad than a real feature of the place as it is located in a backyard.
What makes up for those little negative points and the whole experience so extraordinary is Michael‘s hospitality. He really went above and beyond to make the stay enjoyable and easy. You‘ll get the really important bits about the neighborhood and a fun story or two on top. And if you need him, he‘s there in a blink.
All in all, I can only recommend staying here, especially if you are aware of the minor limitations to that recommendation.
Thanks, Michael.
