This was our first experience with Airbnb and we were a little apprehensive to begin our holiday. We should not have been concerned Jenny met us at the front door with a big welcoming smile and for Derek a bonus three lovely dogs.
Annandale is so unlike Sydney in that it has a village atmosphere and antique charm. The home itself was scrupulously clean and very comfortable. We appreciated that we had a full run of the house but had our private bathroom. A small but significant mention here that Jenny made sure we had a surplus of thick towels. I have been to places where the towels and bedding are less than adequate. This was certainly not the case here.
The bedroom was at the front of the house looking out through (for us) a tropical garden onto a quiet road. Susan was very tired with a bumpy overnight flight and she opted to have an hour or two in bed. Meanwhile Jenny took me on a tour of Annandale, pointing out the best places to eat and better still where not to eat. She guided me to the bus stop and took me to the appropriate shop to buy travel cards.
All this was a wonderful start to a short holiday in Annandale which is less than half an hours journey into the centre of Sydney.
In the morning Jenny had other things to do and we. We're left on our own to organise our own breakfast at our own speed. This was really good as both of us were still reading from the long air flight from the UK.
This brings us to the end of the holiday. We were organising a taxi to take us from Annandale to the railway station for the next year leg of our journey when Jenny offered to take us by car. Thank you Jenny.

As mentioned this was our first experience of Airbnb and after meeting Jenny I am certain it will not be our last.
