Volcker’s place is one of the most spectacular Airbnb’s we’ve ever stayed in. This modern aerie is a gorgeous haven: it’s a pleasure to come home to, and a joy to wake up in.
The light is spectacular, the views [harbor and city] are amazing, and the apartment is strikingly furnished with a wonderful cook’s kitchen, luxurious bathrooms, and extraordinarily comfortable beds. It’s quiet, spotlessly clean and maintained to a very high standard [spa-like towels, and the skin and hair products were delightful].
The extensive outdoor space invites morning coffees and afternoon drinks on the terrace, as well as dinners at the outdoor dining table. If the weather is inclement, the living/dining area is a perfect location to chill in front of the huge flat-screen.
In fact, the apartment’s design and amenities clearly outweighs any hesitation we may have had about its location. We’d originally wanted something in the heart of Surrey Hills, but Volcker’s apartment turned out to be a great place to base ourselves. Surry Hills is a very short and pleasant walk to the south…The Botanic Gardens and Art Gallery of NSW are just across the road to the north…and we walked many times from the apartment to the Opera House and Circular Quay. Direct bus service everywhere, from Chinatown to Vaucluse House is convenient and close by. [As are Ubers, of course!]
Really, the only thing wrong with his place – is that we can’t live in it year-round!
