Cozy City-view 1 bed+study home in the central CBD
The property is in a fantastic location. Frank was very responsive and friendly, and kindly agreed to our early check-in. The place was also clean and well-kept.

Harbour View Shellcove
What a beautiful, peaceful sanctuary. Amazing location, with a great little coffee shop around the corner. The apartment was so clean and had everything I needed including milk, coffee and cereal. The bedding was very comfortable and the fireplace was a great touch this time of year. Thank you Kristine! I’ll be back.

Opera View Retreat
Wow, wow, wow. I am from Sydney originally and visit often. Davi and Jonas' place was an absolute stand out. If you want to feel like you are in Sydney, be in a delightful and posh area yet easy to get around, this will please you. I just cannot get enough of the view and walking in the neighbourhood. Quiet and respectful neighbours, immaculate amenities, lovely decor and wonderful location. The Opera house view looks MUCH closer in real life. hard to capture in photos. I was worried it would be the other way around. Disappointing in real life but not at all. We had a really beautiful stay. Davi was particularly responsive and everything was easy. Highly recommend.

Luxury Woolloomooloo waterfront
Loved our time at Narelle's great apartment. She was proactive in arranging an early check-in for us, the apartment was immaculate and exactly as described, and the location is sensational. We'll be back for sure.

Harbourview - longer rentals available
Sylvia is an excellent host, she ensured I had everything I needed for my stay and gave tons of local recommendations. The apartment is perfect for a solo traveler and has everything you need, including a GREAT VIEW! Truly, it's spectacular, sweeping views of the harbor, perfect sunrise and sunset. Roof and pool access, super close to tons of attractions and activities. 10/10 stay I would recommend and return to again.

Spectacular Suite, Bridge & Water views, The Rocks
We had a great stay. Ash place was better than pics, clean tidy. Close to public transport and restaurants and bars. Coffee shop 2min walk away. If you book Ash's place you will not be disappointed

One Darling Waterfront City View
This lovely, spacious apartment boasts a stunning 180-degree view of the city and harbor. It is conveniently located near public transportation and within walking distance of many restaurants and attractions. The apartment is very spacious and well-equipped. The fireworks view is fantastic.

Sydney Harbour 1 Bedroom Gem
This was the second time we have stayed at Louisa's apartment, and it was equally as enjoyable. Milsons Point is a perfect place to stay in Sydney, since it's easy to walk, train, or ferry to the city or almost anyway. The village is a delight, as are the close by villages if Lavender Bay and Kirribilli. The apartment is great, with superb views. It's nicely decorated and has everything you need. Louisa is a fantastic host - incredibly responsive and always checking in to see if everything is okay. This is where you should stay when in Sydney, without a doubt.

Exclusive living in a Historic Home
The house was lovely and the location was great to attend Vivid, restaurants, harbour trips and shows. More personal than a stay in a hotel. There were snacks waiting for us upon arrival and the house had everything we needed. Great spot to visit with the family. Not for small children or the elderly, due to stairs and pub close by but great spot for young adults and travellers. We truly enjoyed our stay in the historic home.

Ocean Views & Private Garden
We had a great few days at Alicia’s place . It was the perfect house for three couples . We had everything we needed . Would definitely recommend !

The View - Uninterrupted Sydney Harbour Bridge
Really enjoyed staying at the house - view of the bridge is spectacular. We went to two shows at the Opera House and hit the Galleries ... we were able to walk everywhere which was great. Suzanna was great giving us lot's of local recommendations from the pub across the road to high end options. She was very communicative and I couldn't have wished for more from a host.

Chic Large 4 Bedroom Water View House @ The Rocks
Beautiful host!! So sweet and response time was very good!! She gave me lots of recommendations for spots in Sydney. The air bnb itself was very cleanly and just such an awesome spot and looked exactly like the photos if not better!

MANLY BEACH HOUSE - 8 min walk to Manly Beach!
Loved my week at Amanda’s. The welcome “weekly shop” (fresh basics + juice) was a lovely touch after a long journey. Quiet street, yet a quick walk to Manly Beach, cafés, and the ferry—perfect spot. Home was spotless, comfy beds, sharp kitchen, bright living space. Amanda’s fast replies and local tips sealed the deal. Five stars.

Treetop Water View Sanctuary
I enjoyed dealing with Kate who deserves her reputation as a super host. She was unlike some other hosts I have dealt with very flexible with check in and check out times. I really hope that I have the opportunity to stay in this lovely property again and wish her all the best

SeaPod - Beach Front Holiday Home
SeaPod was the perfect location for a getaway visit to Sydney with my 2 daughters. We explored the local natural environment with trail runs, walks and particularly loved the morning swim in the ocean pool. Spectacular views from every room of the ocean, the surfers, the dolphins and the waves were highlights of our experience. We would love to come back in the near future.

Narrabeen Luxury Beachpad
I stay here every time i'm in the area. Beautiful, comfortable and clean. Exactly like the pictures. Really warm and wonderful hosts. x

Great spot. Very spacious and hosts were very communicative and responsive.

Modern apt in Central Sydney: Harbour Views & Pool
This Airbnb is a perfect location for seeing Sydney. You can connect to any part of the city from the bus stop adjacent to the rental. The rental itself was great - everything was clean and the rental was well equipped with everything needed for a week's stay.

Waterfront Apartment on a quiet cul-de-sac
My wife and I stayed a week, and really enjoyed the stay. The house works well for a couple. We especially enjoyed the open living room, kitchen and dining room. The deck was wonderful too. The area was quiet at night as well. The view is fabulous and is the house's best feature. Even on a rainy day it's still lovely to stay inside, drink some coffee and read (as well as take in that view). We enjoyed walks around the Potts Point neighborhood, and it's a nice walk to the Wooloomooloo Wharf, RBG, the Art Gallery, and the Opera House/Circular Quay. There are a couple of fans, but during the mid-summer months heat might be an issue. During our stay the temperatures were moderate, and just opening the windows to catch the breeze made the house comfortable. The host was first-rate: attentive, friendly, and responsive. Thanks.

Stunning Bondi Beach Ocean View full apartment
Amazing location we stayed last minute for one night in Bondi. Perfect for couple. You couldn’t get closer to the ocean and literally next to Bondi Icebergs. We will def be back.

Waterview Retreat: Free Parking & Near the Mall
Place was great, had everything you need and each bedroom having its own bathroom pretty much makes things very convenient. Only problem was with the internet, had a friend that was going to use it to study but it wasnt good enough it was around 6 mbps download on a bad time and 12 mbps at its best i found. When asked about it, never got a response about it.
