We had a wonderful time staying in Mal and Simone's lovely apartment in Bondi. I was anxious initially because I had never experienced airbnb before, but as we soon walked into the very bright and extremely clean apartment my worries disappeared immediately. The rooms were spacious and kitchen well equipped, and there were lots of dvds for our two boys (aged 6 & 3). It was also very quiet, which was another worry over mine, especially since we were staying for NYE.
I was quite organised and had looked into the parking issue a few weeks prior to arriving. I had heard that parking was quite difficult in the area (only 2 hour parking available 8am until 10pm). I found a great website called Parkhound that offers lots of carspaces to rent around the area. We found one nearby (7min walk) and it certainly made things eeasier. I really recommend it.
The location of the apartment was great too. Not too far for our boys to walk to the beach.
I was sad to leave Bondi and I hope we will be back again soon. Thank you Mal and Simone for providing us with a great airbnb first experience.
