Wow! What a place! All the wonderful reviews about Matthew's place are totally accurate. We stayed 4 nights at Matthew's place and had a wonderful time. There was nothing lacking. We were traveling with our 3 kids and they loved it. The house is absolutely beautiful. The back deck/living space was so much fun to hang out in and the planes were a delight. Our kids kept running from the house to the yard to see what was landing. We didn't find them disruptive at all. We would recommend this accommodation to anyone. A large plus for us was how close to the train station it is as we had no vehicle. Our kids had no problem walking there and back and it is an easy train ride right to the heart of the city. You are lucky if this place is available when you are planning a trip to Sydney.
