Marianne is honestly the best Airbnb host I've ever had. She is the most welcoming, kind, generous, joyful and helpful person I've met in all my travels and I've been to 28 countries. From day one, she made me feel like a part of the family, even invited me to join her weekly family dinners. At those diners, I've become friends with her children who are my age and I've enjoyed delicious home-cooked meals. I came to Sydney and knew no one, Marianne and her family helped make my transition to the city perfectly smooth. Not only that, I feel as if I've gained an Australian family that I will keep for life. I can go on forever about my experience here:) The home is absolutely lovely, clean, in a quiet neighborhood near a beautiful national park. Marianne's son took me on my first bushwalk and taught me about the plant and animal life along the way. On another night, Marianne's daughters showed me the Sydney Opera House and Opera Bar, then a great place for Mexican food! There have been so many great memories. I highly recommend staying here!
