Three days in Sydney

Host could not have been nicer; really helped us out by holding our bags when we arrived before check-in...made it easy to start seeing the area right away. Location is on a very picturesque, quiet street. Less than 10 minute walk to corner cafe or pub or light rail station. Room fit the bill for us as clean comfortable place to just sleep and get ready for the next day.

Perfect accomodation for 3 days

Senta and her family is a very friendly host. The location of the accomodation is great in the centre of Surry. The accomodation was clean and furnished very nice. The bottle of vine was the highlight of welcome. Thanks a lot, also for good hints.

Great Place, Great Location

Stayed 2 nights over the weekend. Location was ideal for our stay, with easy access to city and Moore Park stadiums. Neighbourhood was a quiet pocket of an otherwise, vibrant suburb, with a wide range of restaurants, cafes and pubs. Accommodation was well appointed and spotless, with some nice touches added by our host. Also, from a practical perspective, two really important considerations - the bed was huge and very comfortable, the shower was hot with good water pressure. We’d happily stay again.

Fantastic property and Beat Host Ever!

The property is completely as advertised, great little spot in an awesome corner of Sydney, a real neighbourhood. Great spots to eat and transit close by enabled us to get to Bondi, Watson's Bay, and the Harbour Front/Rocks. But Ssenta, your host is the most thoughtful and helpful host we have ever had. Even though she was on vacation with her fam, she checked in with us to make sure we were ok and finding our way around. When I asked about places to eat, she provided a long list, they were all lovely places (we didn't have time to eat at them all but walked by several that looked really good). Honestly, she couldn't have been more pleasant or helpful, genuinely wanted us to enjoy the bezt of Sydney. This was a great start to our Australian adventure, and o e of bezt stays anywhere, I can't recommend this property, and our host, highly enough.

Exceeded Expectations

I had not been to Sydney for over 20 years and had never stayed in Surrey Hills. I came to check out the city and go to a few World Cup soccer games. Upon arrival, my host made sure that I was comfortable and well-informed about the area. I was welcomed with snacks and a bottle of wine. The snacks saved me because my flight came in so late and I had had nothing to eat. My host, Senta, kept in touch with me throughout my stay, and made sure that all of my questions were answered. She provided me with adapters for the outlets, amazing coffee, and even left me a bakery item on the doorstep that first morning. I unfortunately got sick one night, and Setna went above and beyond, leaving tea to settle my tummy and hydration tablets on my doorstep! The bed was so perfectly comfortable and warm, and the room was so relaxing. I was able to get into vacation mode the moment I walked in the door, The storage space was also fantastic, because I didn’t have to continue to go through my bags throughout my stay. Discovering Surrey Hills, and the surrounding area was quite easy. I could easily walk downtown, and even to one of the soccer venues. Surrey Hills is a very friendly neighborhood. I felt safe traveling alone and can’t wait to come back again. Thank you so much for opening up your beautiful home and leaving me with wonderful memories of a beautiful city.

AMAZING - loved it so much!

My daughters and I absolutely loved our stay here. So lucky to have found this property. It was immaculately clean, very secure with lockboxes and codes for entry, super comfortable beds and extras like T2 tea and nespresso coffee machine. Location was so central for exploring the city and it's in a beautiful tree lined street. Our hosts could not be more friendly or helpful...can't wait to visit again and highly recommend this as a great place to stay..thanks Senta to you and your mum who was super helpful and fun.

Great spot with incredibly helpful host!

I booked this room pretty last minute for my trip to Sydney. I didn’t know which area would be best, but it ended up being the perfect location. Quiet at night, close to many restaurants and grocery stores and only a short walk to downtown/harbor area. Senta sent me a lot of information upon my arrival with information on beaches, public transportation, and was very understanding when I had flight delays and showed up late and had to have a later checkout. Would definitely stay here again :)

Perfect Holiday in a Perfect Neighbourhood

Can’t get much better than this! Senta went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable & homely as possible. You won’t find a better apartment in a more convenient, beautiful & centrally located area. Such a fair price too. 12/10 would recommend to literally anyone and everyone. The hosts are also so knowledgeable on things to do and places to see as well. Top tier hospitality and should probably open a restaurant haha

Spectacular! Great location, comfortable stay, wonderful host!

My stay here was fantastic! Beautiful little studio apartment tucked into one of the best neighborhoods (Surry hills) in Sydney. Walkable to coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, & the tram. Senta, the host, was a communicative, kind, considerate host with a fun spirit & she set up the place with a high attention to detail. Big comfy bed, spacious closet, great shower with wonderful soaps, fairy lights & an iPod for some tunes. Security gate made me feel super safe as well! Thank you so much, I can’t wait to come stay again!

Impeccably clean stylish pad in a funky place of town

The room is exactly as described and shown in the pictures (including the complimentary wine and coffee 😊). It is immaculately clean, with a large comfortable bed, good quality linen and thoughtful lighting). The shower is hot and powerful and high end toiletries are provided. I had a really love stay, it’s a great location. Both room and area feels safe as a solo traveller-separate double locked entrance. Quirky independent shops and cafes nearby. Great for the Light rail and good bus links as well. Excellent communication from host. Highly recommend.

World Tour

We stayed at Senta’s lovely place after our visit to Bali and we couldn’t have picked a better place! It was absolutely stunning, cozy, and perfectly located to everywhere we needed to go. It was easily accessible to the city and even public transport. Senta was the most wonderful host as well and gave us all of the tips needed to make our visit extra special. The attention to detail was unparalleled and we truly felt like locals for the week we visited. You cannot go wrong by staying here and will remember the place forever. Thank you, again, so so so very much! Truly a blessing to have stayed here! 🙂

Beautiful little studio in the one of the most beautiful areas of Sydney - Surry Hills. Very scenic and situated in a grand terrace house. The place is roomy and beautifully furnished and designed with all the little details adding a homely and well thought out touch. King sized bed was amazing and cozy with lovely linens. Nothing cheap has been used here! Senta was friendly and welcoming. There was a little bit of noise on the Friday night due a party nearby and people walking past on the street, but Senta makes this clear in the profile. It wasn't too bad as I got to sleep fairly easily.

Wir hatten schon im Vorfeld der Reise viele hilfreiche Infos und Tipps von Senta erhalten und auch das freundliche Angebot unsere Koffer morgens nach der Ankunft abzustellen. Die Lage in der ruhigen Straße im schönen Surry Hills ist hervorragend und der Stadtteil bietet tolle Möglichkeiten für Frühstück und Dinner direkt um die Ecke. Zimmer: gemütliches Bett, Bad okay, da Souterrain auf Dauer etwas dunkel, aber angenehme Temperatur (im Sommer aber möglicherweise ohne AC schwierig), empfindliche Menschen könnte eventuell der Trittschall von oben stören. Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in Sydney.
