Where do we start, well Askar met us the night we arrived to guide us to the house which was a really nice touch and even nicer touch was helping us up the driveway with all of our luggage as we were there for 3 weeks and my parents are elderly. The house itself is beautiful as is the surrounding area. Its quiet and the area is very safe. As for the train station it is less then 5 min walk from the house but just a little note on that. The area, like a lot of Sydney is hilly, and from the driveway to the train station its a steep hill upwards, going back to the house is great, all down hill. I would absolutely recommend both Askar as a host, his house and the street that the house is located in. Getting into the city is so simple and for a week of travelling on train, bus and ferry i recommend the zone three unlimited ticket for $61. It is fantastic value. On the way to Wynyard which is the best station to get off as it is so central and just a walk to Circular quay one way and the other way a walk to darling harbour. Again train related on your way to Wynyard I would highly recommend you stop at Chatswood and visit the Westfield shopping Centre, Its an excellent place to spend a day. Back to Askar and the house, this is the first time i was using Airbnb and I would recommend it to anyone, in fact has encouraged me to become a host aswell and that is down to Askar himself, so i cant give any higher praise then that.
