I lived in Tom´s apartment for around 3 months and I can say one of the best if not the best place I have ever lived in Sydney.
Starting with the house: modern, cozy and convenient. It has everything somebody needs for a long stay. Two bathrooms, all appliances you can need (shoutout to the Kitchen, incredibly well equipped so you dont need to buy absolutelly anything), awesome living room with plenty of room, couch, big TV. On the second floor a very comfy bed with a big bathroom with a huge bath. A true delight.
The area is perfectly located. In the hearth of Surry Hills surrounded by best cofee/lunch places, gyms, 4 minutes walk to the CBD and 8-10 minutes to central station. Not noisy at all and very safe. Absolutely great vibes.
And the cherry of the top is Tom, the host. Quick to assist on any hiccup, (it even provided me with a office desk and chair as soon as I explained him I work from home), understanding and flexible. A very good person !
To sum it up if you are thinking for a long stay in Sydney (even for a short one as well) dont think twice. Get on this as it will make your life here awesome!
Thanks for everything!
