Petra's place is exactly as described in the listing. Do not expect a 5-star hotel, expect a 5-star stay in a well-lived in and loved home. The house was clean where it mattered and full of character everywhere else. The room was large and spacious. The location is fantastic for exploring the beaches and Centennial Park. Petra was superbly easy to communicate with and Brett (the co-host for my stay) was incredibly friendly and interesting.
If a few ants scurrying about the toilet floor are enough to make you run for the hills, this isn't the place for you and it would be unfair on Petra for you to stay and then leave a bad review - she is abundantly upfront about the style of living in the house. If you're not so precious and uptight and would appreciate the ambience of this home, then I couldn't recommend a better place to stay while you enjoy Sydney.
Wickedly comfortable and inviting. I wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Thank you!
