Although the listing says that the host in Gabriel, he is the manager of the property while Ian and Ruth are the real hosts. That being said, Gabriel was a great manager for this property. He helped us set up the booking on Christmas Eve morning within two hours after we had a horrible booking somewhere else that we needed to get out of ASAP. He checked in multiple times during our trip to make sure our stay was good. I would highly recommend working with Gabriel on any AirBNB booking.
For the hosts (Ian and Ruth), they were fantastic. Ian was at the front door waiting for us when we arrived and let us into their beautiful home. Ian and Ruth live nearby and were very helpful in regards to giving us information about the Sydney transportation system. As mentioned in the post, there is a Light Rail Train stop about 50 meters from the house which can take you straight to central station in about 20 minutes. They even have 4 Adult Opal cards in the house that you can easily reload at the train station. Additionally, they provided us information about places to visit in Sydney for the best views of the areas.
We were apparently the second family to stay in this home as they had just opened it a couple weeks ago (mid December 2017). The house is an old house (built in the later 1800s) that has been beautiful redesigned to its current state. The pictures shown in the posting are exactly what you get in the house. It is clean, bright, and comfortable. The beds were comfortable, the air conditioning worked well to keep the house comfortable during the summer heat. The kitchen was fully stocked in terms of appliances, pots/pans, cook wear, and was fully stocked with coffee.
We would rate this house 6 stars if we could. The hosts (Ian and Ruth) and the manager (Gabriel) were all fantastic and made our trip to Sydney very memorable.
