We had a wonderful time staying in Lyndell's home! I couldn't have asked for a better initial airbnb experience. There are two very comfy bedrooms, heaps of living space, full access to a kitchen and a wonderful backyard (including spa and very friendly cat Misty!). Lyndell is very organised, with key safe access, wi-fi, multiple contact details, and plenty of sheets and towels for guests. The house manual also includes some great food recommendations.

The Enmore/Newtown area is one of my favourite places in Sydney - always bustling, never boring. As well as the food, there's lots of good music, boutique shopping and interesting people through these streets. There are many bus stops and a train station within short walking distance of the house, so you can easily explore further afield (I recommend purchasing an Opal card to make life that much easier). Uber also operates in Sydney.

My single woe is that we only stayed for two nights - would have loved to be there for longer, to enjoy more time sipping tea/wine and eating gelato on the balcony.
