This was our best airbnb rental yet. Angelica is a great host. Easy and timely communication. She took time at check-in to talk about the area and spots of interest and then later sent us links on those things for further review.
The apartment itself was just as in the pictures. Plenty of space for our family of five. The kitchen was well stocked with all sorts of useful things. The snacks were very much appreciated after our 14 hour flight. The furniture and bedding was all up-to-date and comfortable. An unlimitied supply of hot water, which was nice after our long days of site seeing, and a washer and dryer that worked great. The view of the harbour bridge and Sydney was the absolute best feature of the apt, especially during the VIVID lights each night.
The location was everything we would have wanted for our first trip to Australia. Just an easy 8-10 min walk from the train or ferry wharf. No need for a car with this place unless your going further then 3 hours from Sydney.
The apt. was only 30 min (2 trains) from the airport. Sydney has to be the easiest most efficient public transportation we use in all our travels. The amount of Ferry connections makes it super convenient.
Kiribilli was a great little neighborhood. All the coffee shops are great. The local pizza places and seafood restaurant were awesome.
If your traveling with kids, don't miss out on the park in Darling Harbour next to the convention center.
Also you can easily make your way to the Blue Mt. from this apt by the train thats only a few minutes walk. No need to spend hundreds on a viator tour. The train takes you directly to Blacktown for the wild life park where you're interacting with all the animals you'd imagine in Australia (koalas, roos, wombats). From there you can get back on the same train and travel to Katoomba to see all the sights and hikes there, or to Wentworth Falls. On the way back catch the ferry from one of the towns on the parrametta river. All of this can be done on your OPAL card, which caps off at $60 a week. Just download the App "Train Hikes" for Sydney area and you'll find all the hikes that are acessilble to each train stop.
Would certainly rent this place for a future visit.
