Contained studio with own access, 15 mins from CBD

SarahRating, 5 stars1 month ago

I cannot recommend a stay at Julie's place more! It was exactly what I needed for a work trip exhibiting at an art fair nearby. Perfect size, comfortable, great wifi for work, all the things I needed for breakfast and basic meals, lots of lovely shower goodies provided, comfy bed. Quiet and peaceful neighbourhood and I slept so well. Julie was friendly and helpful and ensured I had a great stay. It was very reasonable and it is a brilliant area close to the city but with all the essentials nearby. If this listing is available snap it up!

Balmain Spacious 3 Bedroom House close to harbour

NaomiRating, 5 stars1 week ago

Absolutely perfect for us and our three primary aged children. The kids LOVED having a park and oval on the doorstep to the house, this was a dream for them! The cottage is very comfortable and plenty of space for us. Easy to use TV and kitchen including coffee. There is also a coffee shop at the park that is open most mornings. We will definitely look to book again next time we are in the area with the kids.

Little Paradise close to CBD

GlennRating, 5 stars4 months ago

This was our first experience with AirBnB and what a wonderful introduction to such a great service. Janine was not only helpful and responsive as a host but made us feel right at home. Her place was exactly as described, we found it to be a little oasis in a big city. Excellent location close to shops, restaurants and public transport, simply parked the car and forgot about it for the duration of our stay. Thanks again Janine and AirBnB. 5 stars.

I booked Susan's studio for my parents to stay when they came to visit me and my family. Perfect location just a block away from my house, and also just minutes walk away from shops, supermarket and cafes on the main street. The studio was simple but very clean.

Exclusive Harbourside Retreat

MoniqueRating, 5 stars2 days ago

This place was just perfect for us. The sunsets over the harbour were absolutely stunning, especially with a wine in hand and a blanket to keep us warm on the balcony. Each evening we were snuggled up on the lounge and watching movies on the huge TV. The kitchen and bathrooms are lovely too. The home is spacious, beautifully styled, and has such a homely feel. The hosts were also so helpful and responsive. I left feeling refreshed, and already planning my next visit. Highly recommend!
