On our first time ever in Sydney, this space and Hans both made an excellent first impression that we will treasure forever. The studio is just as pictured, with many clever and beautiful design features. We took notes so we could replicate them in our own 20s home.
Overall, the space works perfectly for a single person or couple. Be warned that it is up two flights of stairs! The Murphy bed was comfortable and the kitchen well-appointed for a quick meal or coffee. We didn’t mind the shared bathroom across the hall. It’s quite convenient and we spent little time in there since we were out exploring.
The location is surrounded by delicious restaurants and lively bars, but the street itself is quite private and quiet. We were able to get to the CBD in about 15 minutes by taxi. There also many nearby buses.
Hans himself is the most generous and kind-hearted host. He left us chocolate and wine and spent an hour with us upon our arrival so he could share his best tips about Sydney. He also responded very quickly to our later inquiries.
Unfortunately we don’t have many opportunities to come to Sydney in the future, but when we do we will certainly stay in this space again. It’s an exemplary example of why Airbnb is the ideal way to travel – we didn’t just get a place to sleep, we also got an expert guide and a new friend.
