Martin was an excellent host who made me and friend comfortable since day 1. He picked us up straight from the airport and provided us with maps and bus passes to ensure we did not have to take any cabs. His apartment is clean and the kitchen is perfect for doing your own cooking. The location is indeed close to the city and the bus takes less than 30 minutes to reach the central of Sydney. Oh and the wifi is really fast! It was my first Airbnb experience and it was definitely a great one!
