The house is beautiful and well-located if you want to spend time in Glebe and Newtown. Several buses to the city center and other parts of the city run 20m or so from the house. It's about an hour by public transit to circular quay/ opera house, but Ubers weren't too expensive (less than 10 AUD off-peak).
Craig was away during my stay so I never met him. He had someone coming in to do see tidying and feed the cat (be warned if you have a allergy!). Craig was also very responsive to messages, and helpful in his answers.
My arrival went smoothly, but there were a number of things I had to figure out (e.g. that there was no rubbish bin in the kitchen but instead it has to go on the porch). Other small things were lacking, probably due to his absence -- there was no hand towel in the bathroom, for example.
My room met my expectations based on pictures, and was clean. Sheet were fresh and the room was well aired out. The rest of the house was also clean, but the kitchen was a bit sticky (edges of cabinets were literally sticky; a few plates seemed to be poorly cleaned; the sink needed a scrub). I don't think it had been thoroughly cleaned in a while, but seemed to be given a light cleaning daily so was not a huge deal. I'm pretty particular about these things so it bothered me more than it probably would most.
My only major complaint is that there was another person from Airbnb staying at the same time. I feel strongly that this should have been advertised up front, as I pay in part to stay with a well-reviewed host, not a random person! however the two fellow guests who were there during my time were very nice.
