Ben is AMAZING! He is a really nice, easy-going, kind, polite and interesting person.
By far it was my BEST airbnb experience, and I have been through many. I cannot recommend him enough!
He helped me so much to set up my new life in Australia, that is hard to call him a host. He is definitely my big brother. For instance, he:
- gave me lifts to Bondi Junction so I could reach work faster;
- allowed me to use his home address to set-up a bunch of things (bank and mobile accounts...);
- made me a huge favor and received my new laptop at his work place;
- recommended me the best places to go whenever I needed some directions (e.g., where to change money, go for shopping, opal card, mobile plans...);
- allowed me a very late checkout and even told me that I could immediately come back in case something went wrong with my new place (he is so amazing that he even left the key in the letter box for me, just in case...);
Besides, Netflix nights and breakfast/dinner conversation were always very pleasant. Most importantly, he introduced me to tim-tam chocolate biscuit addiction. :)
About his place:
- The apartment is very well located in North Bondi. It is perfect for those who enjoy the beach, and it is also close to 3 bus stops that will take you to the city.
- The neighborhood is safe and has a very nice atmosphere (restaurants, nightlife, shops...).
- His house is SUPER clean (really spotless) and very comfy. The bed will make you sleep for hours and hours.
- Wifi works great.
In summary, if you are looking for a fantastic Airbnb experience and need someone who actually feels joy in supporting others to set up their new life in Sydney, do not hesitate and go with Ben!
