Truly a Home away from Home~!
House - super spacious and impeccably decorated interior. The modern architecture feels very luxurious, and even though we were a relatively large group of 5 adults plus a toddler, the house is designed in a way to offer lots of private spaces (and very good sound proofing system) while having lots of warm family spaces such as the open kitchen, a beautiful friendly island, big indoor and outdoor dining areas great for large family meals together, and comfortable sitting areas and family rooms.
Host hospitality - Jo is the most wonderful host, super responsive and helpful with great detail and tips, and always checking in on what we need. The house is also well-stocked with intricate details such as a well-stocked kitchen, and books and toys for kids. Jo also put up a staircase safety gate for my toddler which I was super appreciative of. As her guests, we feel very safe in Jo's hands.
Location - situated in a quiet street with a school at the end and a day care centre across the street, the area is extremely safe and cosy. Lane Cove is a nice suburban area that is full of trees, and there is a very nice neighbourhood market square just a few min away by car where there are also two large supermarkets where one can get all the groceries we need (one of them opens until midnight). Lane Cove's location is also one of the best areas in Sydney being located 10-20 min away from the city center and various populated suburbs, and a key thing to note is little to no traffic in Lane Cove unlike much of the rest of Sydney!
Words cannot express how much we have loved staying here and how wonderful Jo's been as a host.
