Trevor and Gayle are the friendliest hosts you could wish for! Their place is basically in their backyard, but still very private with a pool and garden to share. The house itself is very comfortable, perfectly well equipped, clean and suitable for either solo travelers or couples. You have everything you need in walking distance, including the train station, a bus and quite a few little restaurants as well as a grocery store.
As for the check-in, they even offered us to leave our bags with them before being able to properly check-in, which definitely eased things for us.
I would definitely recommend this place for everyone, who would like to escape the cbd vibes and still be able to discover Sydney.
