I can not recommend Hugh's place enough! First off, the communication with the host was great. He has several listings and I wasn't sure which one and he suggested the dance loft because of the little attic bed that my son LOVED. The apartment was very comfortable, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed.

We stay in a lot of Airbnbs and we frequently find ourselves buying the necessities (salt, pepper, oil, tea, coffee, laundry soap, etc.) again and again and all of those things, and more, were provided. There were plenty of dishes, towels, pans, etc. as well. Because Hugh and his family are owners, there was much more of a personal touch that we appreciated. He also told us of some local places to go that ended up being highlights for us and our son. Lots of local maps are also provided to help you with planning your visit.

Added to that, we arrived early and had a late flight and Hugh accommodated early check in and late check out which saved us a whole lot of stress. As a father himself, he understands what's its like traveling with children and his generosity was very kind.

The location is fantastic, literally steps from the Kings Cross subway and close to walking streets with dining, shopping, nightlife as well as a great playground for the kids (my son spent 4 hours there one day). It's a good walk (if you're relatively fit) to the big shopping area of Pitt Street, and it's a kilometer or two jog to the Botanical gardens (where you can see wild cockatoos and lorikeets - I even had a cockatoo land on my head while I was taking pictures!!!)

We had a wonderful time even though we were only there a week. We plan to come back to Australia some other time and we'd consider Hugh's apartments first before any other.

Thank you again, Hugh, for your kind hospitality. This was one of our best AirBnb experiences yet.
