First the location. Kirribilli is an old neighbourhood and therefore still retains a very leafy environment and the houses are all from another era. Simply fantastic. Plus it is so close to the ferry and the train service as well as busses. Plenty of lovely eating places around so no real need to go to the city. Lovely walking track along the water and many other outdoor areas to enjoy. It is so close to the city being just one stop away from Wynward.
Secondly the apartment. This is a lovely space that has been very recently done up so everything is fantastic. I am personally honoured that I was the first AirBnB guest to stay here. the most beautiful features the garden which technically is shared among the owner who lives upstairs and you but it is almost never used by the owner so its your private space as well. You could easily spend a long time here because its essentially a home.
Finally the host Cynthia is a such a great host. She is always available for any help but never intrusive. Was very very kind to even offer to come and pick me up from the station. Plus she had left a bottle of wine and some fruit and other food stuff, which was a lovely gesture. Really it felt like I was a honoured guest at someones home rather than a paying guest at a hotel.
Overall I feel that even the five star rating I have given this property doesn't do justice to what a grand experience it was.
