Sandra's AirBnb was my first stay with AirBnb, I didn't know what to expect. After staying at Noosa Gone South, I think I will be disappointed if my next AirBnb experience isn't the same!
From when I first booked the hosts were in constant communication with me to ensure I knew were I was going and to allow the hosts to prepare for my arrival. I arrived and was welcomely greeted by Sandra and Mark, who showed me the private self contained (I would say granny flat, but that doesn't do the space justice) room they have created in their back yard. My first impressions were "wow, these two know what resort style accommodation is". It was beautifully styled with everything you would want from a time away from home.
There is a fully equipped kitchen with everything and more you need to cook great meals. The fridge is large enough with plenty of freezer space. The air conditioner was quiet and in good working order (you couldn't tell it was 47 degrees outside), the Internet/Wifi was very quick, and if you needed to know something there is a Google Mini to help you out!
I was very happy with my stay. Sandra/Mark were there to ensure I was enjoying myself and comfortable. There is a private deck that is fenced/gated off for your own privacy and there is a decent sized pool that is very clean.
Location is very close to everything you would need (i.e. shops). Street is quiet and car is safe on the road. Most things are 5min drive away; such as Neapen river, food shopping, and Penrith Westfield. I did a few trips up to the Blue Mountains which is only 30-45mins drive away (that's super close for Sydney BTW).
Looking at other accommodation options in Penrith, I don't think I would have found a better valued more comfortable place. I would stay again.
