Mike was everything you could ask for in a host: friendly, generous, efficient and willing to go the extra mile for his guests. I love his apartment. Amazing views of downtown Sydney. Perfectly set in a funky neighbourhood with wonderful eateries and bars on the doorstep. Feels very safe, too.

The flat is smart, comfortable, clean and well-equipped. The only downside is the walls are thin enough that you can hear the neighbours pottering around, but that didn't really bother me and certainly didn't prevent me from sleeping soundly on both nights.

I stayed alone and loved the flat. But it would also be great for a couple.

Bottom line: can't recommend Mike or his flat highly enough, and will try to stay there on my next visit. Many thanks, buddy!
