The start of my leave was 4 nights at Spencer's beautiful home - if all my airbnb experiences are half as good as my experience with Spence and Oscar I will have the most amazing 17 weeks of travel starting in Sydney and ending in Ireland!

Spencer is a kind, gentle, patient and considerate host and Oscar is a lovely friendly dog that would not upset a fly!

The guest room is bright and airy, as is the whole house. Sitting on the sun drenched balcony in the morning with a pot of tea watching the world go by and preparing for yet another fun filled day is the absolute best way to start the day.

The pool and BBQ area absolutely perfect for relaxing and for cooking if you're not in the mood for eating at any of the amazing bars, restaurants etc within easy walking distance from Spences' place

The location could not be better - very easy to catch public transport, be it a train or bus to anywhere and everywhere - I traveled by train from the Southern Highlands with quite a bit of luggage and did not find the travel or the walk from the station at all difficult.

I live in Melbourne and spend a lot of time in Sydney and I would love to make this my home away from home.

Thank you Spence for being the lovely person you are and for making the start of my holiday really really special.
