As Airbnb newbies, we were absolutely pleased to have landed up with Louise’s property in Greenwich, notwithstanding our original intention of staying in the touristy part of the city like Darling Harbour for easy commutability as tourists. What sold us on her house was its swimming poo for our grandkids, the ensuite bathrooms to all 3 bedrooms (so hard to come by in Sydney) and its lush surroundings, plus the fact that Louise was a super host, a label she truly deserves.
Pre-arrival she had conscientiously responded to our queries on matters like restaurant recommendations (plus babysitters if so required), even accommodating a recce trip by family members ahead of our stay.
We were most impressed by the quality of the amenities she supplied, as well as the generous supply of towels in each of the bathrooms. Her “starter” produce kit was also generous and of good quality, including organic yoghurt, and even wine and beer.
The pool and tent down in her garden was a constant source of enjoyment for the children in our group of 7,
I had been somewhat concerned about accessibility since we are off the tourist track and not conveniently near a train station. But with Uber and a direct bus to the city (only 15 minutes) and nearby eating places just outside her driveway, so long as we followed the schedule, getting about was not too difficult.
We were totally happy with our decision to stay with Louise.
