From the moment we arrived in Sydney, Michael was an exceptional host. Our flight arrived close to 9 pm, but he happily met us at the apartment late and gave us the key, orientation, and great suggestions for things to check out in the city. The fridge was stocked with goodies for breakfast and snacks and the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. Having laundry facilities and fast wi-fi are great benefits of Michael's place, but the best feature is the balcony overlooking the city. We spent hours in the morning and evening enjoying what is essentially an outdoor room. Surrey Hills is a great neighborhood full of cafes, restaurants and bars with easy access to downtown Sydney. We were very comfortable at Michael's place and he couldn't have been a nicer host!
