Effie and Tony were the perfect hosts from start to finish. When I booked I asked if there would be anywhere to buy a Christmas tree and Effie responded by buying one for the house and decorating it. This was much appreciated, especially by my kids spending their first Christmas away from home.
The house is as lovely as the pictures suggest and really well equipped with two BBQs, front and back. On arrival Tony took myself and my father in law for a drive to help us get to know the area which was much appreciated. Effie and Tony also supplied two Opal cards for use on all public transport.
Mosman itself is a quiet and prosperous suburb and the bus from outside the door takes you into Wynyard Station in central Sydney in under 20 minutes. Balmoral Beach is gorgeous but be aware that it is a twenty minute walk with some big hills. The younger members of our group managed the walk but if you have elderly relatives this could be a bit of a struggle.
I would like to say a huge thank you to Effie and Tony for allowing us to use their beautiful home and for being the perfect Airbnb hosts.
