I would recommend this place to all my friends. It's clean, has all kitchen appliances needed, located in a not so busy/noisy area. There's many cafes and restaurants around too. The rooms are decent size, living room/kitchen very big and opened. Nice backyard. The bathroom is big and spotless. We were given towels and linens. There's wonderful Aesop hand soap and lotion too.
It's not on the ground floor, something to consider if you have difficulties walking up stairs...or just have the neighbors help you :)
I can't really tell how long it takes for the bus ride to downtown but by car it's about not more than 10 minutes. It's also perfectly located if you need to be at the airport fast (traffic in Sydney seems difficult).
Communication was so easy and effortless with Mike (through Airbnb messaging). No issues at check-in or check out, no waiting (good system).
Cheers !
