Wow, what can I say? I stayed at Brian and Crystal's house with two of my other friends. We all could not have asked for a better host. Trust me, these couple are the friendliest and and most hospitable people you will ever meet. The moment I got to the station near their home, Brian picked us up so we can drop off our luggages. Soon after, he took us to a convenience store to get an opal card (which saved us $$) and dropped us back off at the station so we can hang out at the city centre. Each time we got back, they would always pick us up from the station back to their home. And they are always happy to do this. They both even took their time to chat with us to give us tips and pointers on what to do in Sydney. It definitely helped us plan the trip better. Despite the fact that their home is about a 45 minute train ride from the CBD, do not let this prevent you from staying with them. You will not regret it one bit. Their house is spacious and is extremely clean. Oh one more thing, Brian even took us to the airport at 5 am in the morning...on a Sunday! He did it so we won't have to pay for the taxi ride. Thank you so much Brian and Crystal. I will never forget about you both!!
