It's my first time to use this service in Sydney, I was a little nervous, not very sure what kind of place I would dwell in, not sure who I am going to deal with,to be honest. I was totally relaxed after the initial communication with her, she is very kind and warm, she kept on informing me what necessary matters, even including parking.
When I arrived in front of her house, which is right behind the historical Valhalla cinema at Glebe, my eyes wildly opened, her place is sitting in an old-style building with a beautiful garden, a nice bobbling fountain.
She met me and lead to my place, when I stepped in the room, my jaws fell on the ground and it took me a few minutes to pick them up and closed. In a big room, sits a nice iron-framed bed, the bedding looks like an oil painting, very artistic. The space is much more bigger than I would expect. The owner hearted prepare fruits, snacks and even bottled water, that is so touched, everyone who lives in Sydney would know drinking water is not an issue at all, however she prepares the bottled water, when she realized that I drink more water, she prepared jags of them, you know what, she even used the food wrapper to cover it.
The independent bathroom is also big, she would clean it up everyday, when you step in it, it looks like it isn't being used at all, there is no a drop of water on the glass door, mirror, or wherever you would think it would be.
Both her husband and herself are super nice to the guest, even though I am a horrible one, hardly communicate with them, except basic greetings. How terrible I am. The night before I go back to China, both of them prepared a farewell dinner for me, but I bailed, you can see how a terrible guest I am.
Her location is wonderful, next to Glebe point road, It's easy to walk around the neighbourhood, beautiful cafes, restaurants, stores and bus stops are within two minutes walking distance.
Her place is so beautiful, I would wake up in the birds' singing every morning, sometimes, her cute house cat would come and greet you.
Stay at her place is a wonderful experience, like staying at home…this would carve in my brain for a long long time.
