Troy's place truly surpassed our already very hopeful expectations! Coming from the US with little knowledge of Sydney we agonized over choosing our rental and we absolutely lucked out with choosing Troy's! The location is in a very quaint neighborhood with million dollar single-family homes, historic apartment buildings, and gorgeous bayside parks surrounding. We loved being able to walk through our secret path to access the shops and restaurants nearby and the walk through the Botanical Gardens to the Opera House/Circular Quay area was beautiful. The access to the Kings Cross Station was also excellent as despite having rented a car, we much preferred using the trains in town. The apartment itself was as beautiful as advertised and then more!! The view is incredible from not only the living area but the bedroom and even the shower as well which I don't think you can tell from photos. The bed, linens, kitchen, bathroom--everything was extremely comfortable, high quality and attended to. There was more than ample storage for clothing (large closet, 6 or 8 drawers plus another linen closet with space open), toiletries (multiple drawers, a cabinet, and counter space) and our suitcases fit perfectly under the shelves next to the bed so there was zero clutter despite our 3 bags! And then I truly can't say enough about how incredibly fortunate we were to have Erick there as our on-site host!! I am tearing up as I write this because we truly would not have had anywhere near the same experience on our trip were it not for his incredibly generous support. Erick answered our every need within moments yet is incredibly professional and friendly without one modicum of intrusiveness. He left us two amazing breakfasts outside our door in the morning and provided fantastic recommendations for restaurants and activities. But we truly could not believe his kindness when we found ourselves in a bind with where to store our suitcases with winter clothes during our quick 4-day jaunt to North Queensland. Erick not only offered to store them in the basement storage, he actually researched and helped us find a hotel nearby for our return (sadly Troy's was booked) and insisted on delivering them so our bags were there awaiting our return!! We have used Airbnb many times and have been fortunate to have had positive experiences but between our delight with Troy's apartment and the generosity of Erick this trip was an absolute cake-topper!
