This was my first experience with airbnb and it worked out very well. Carolyn and John were great hosts. They met me at a coffee shop as I was walking up the hill from the ferry and walked me to the apartment in a lovely old building on a quiet street. They were very helpful in organizing my visit. The apartment is well equipped and even nicer than it appears in the photos. There is no wi-fi so bring a flashdrive or plan to use an internet cafe in the neighborhood. I made quite a few trips on the ferry coming and going from the CBD/Darling Harbor so definitely purchase an unlimited transport pass when staying here.
