My husband and I spent four weeks in Sydney because of my work engagement here. I had initially booked a different airbnb and had to check out at 3am because of a serious cockroach infestation. Derek's co-host Geoff was so responsive and kind and made the transition painless. He even came to pick me up at my hotel lobby (2-minute walking distance from this listing) and showed me around the place!
The location is fantastic. The street is quiet (discounting the birds) and very close to Kings Cross station. We literally walked everywhere. We came to love a few neighbourhood places: Film Club on Darlinghurst (extremely well-curated video rental store), the little Japanese place next to that (exquisite small-batch ramen and make sure you have their tofu agedashi--out of the world!), the liquor shop on Darlinghurst one block south of William (check out their clearskin bargain wine--we have been drinking nothing but that) and famers market in Potts Point on Saturday.
I love cooking and the kitchen has been a pleasure to cook in. Pretty much everything you could need during a short stay. We love having a dishwasher (marriage saver) and a washing machine inside the unit. The place is well-stocked with everything, including detergent, tea, oil, salt, sun block (!), shower gel, shampoo...
Geoff has been nothing but friendly and responsive. He bought a brand new clothes/laundry hanger for us. He even offered for me to check out really late when I told him my flight leaves in the late evening.
At the end of a long review, if I have friends staying in Sydney, I would definitely recommend his unit.
Did I also mention the unit also has a stunning view?
