Sonya and Eoghan’s (Owen’s) place was absolutely wonderful. I spent 3 ½ weeks with them and enjoyed every minute. They both made me feel so very welcome from the minute I walked in and I felt at home all of the time. I really enjoyed getting to know and spending time with them both.
The house itself is super stylish and your room and private bathroom are really clean and such a good size. They kindly provide you with a variety of breakfast options and share milk etc, as well as full access to their Netflix account to use in the downstairs living area should you so wish. The WiFi is really quick too.
Location wise, you are a 10 minute walk from Central station, which is so ideal. There are several eateries and coffee shops nearby, and travel around the City is so easy with an Opal card. You are no more than 10 minutes on the train or a 35 minute walk from major landmarks including the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Chalmers Street and the surrounding area is also well lit and feels very safe to walk around, even late at night, something especially important to me as a a young female traveller from UK.
Communication with Sonya and Eoghan was really easy, and they always responded almost instantly. They were always happy to recommend places to visit / eat and things to do.
I couldn’t recommend staying here enough! I am so glad I chose to spend my 3 ½ weeks in Sydney at 246 Chalmers Street, and trust me you will be too! Lastly, Sonya and Eoghan were so exceptionally helpful and couldn’t do enough for me, and I’m sure I’ll be back in Sydney and Chalmers Street in the future! I had the best time! Thank you! Xx
