Fabulous host, very helpful and great comms. Lovely old house in a great location to access Sydney. A bit leaky in the rain, and we were unlucky to experience very poor weather, but didnt dampen our experience. A lack of clothing space in 2 bedrooms, but otherwise a great house.

Beautiful house in a fantastic location

This large, beautifully furnished, well-equipped comfortable house in Darlinghurst was ideal for a family holiday, being within walking distance of everything Sydney has to offer. Set out over three floors, our 12-year old was delighted with her room at the top that had a balcony and skylights with views over the city. We definately want to stay there again.

Amazing house and location

8 ladies in their 50's stay here for a 4 day long weekend. The house is beautiful and in an amazing location. Seamlessly got to the house via train and bus from the airport and walked to most landmarks etc. If we did get tired of walking or just wanted to make the most of lounging at the house Ubers and taxi's were easy to find.Trevor was accommodating and amazing with communication. I recommend 100% for anyone to stay here

Perfect Accommodation for a Shared Family Occassion

We rented Trevor’s property for 6 adults + 2 children as part of a family get together. The property was beautifully appointed, and in a fantastic location. Communication with Trevor was easy, with any of our questions answered. A range of small touches made the time there all the lovelier. Made for a wonderful long weekend away. I hope we are able to stay again!

‘Darling’ of course

This home was great for our adult family's week long stay. Great local pubs and markets - very walkable and central to everything. Staying in is a great option with a well-stocked kitchen. This century old home is quirky and wonky in a delightful way (fountain and bbq aside). Trevor was a very helpful and communicative host.

We loved this home. So interesting and charming in a lovely neighborhood. Many restaurants and sites within walking distance and a quick Uber to the Sydney harbor. Trevor was very quick to respond to my texts and offered us early checkin and late checkout which sadly we weren’t able to take advantage of. Terrific host!

Perfect base for family Christmas Sydney sojourn

We stayed here with three adult sons, ample space to absorb us. Beautiful furnishings and linens, very comfortable and well equipped, and restful back terrace. With temperatures averaging 29’ we appreciated the ceiling fans and aircon. Trevor was v responsive and provided a detailed information folder plus additional personalised recommendations. Great location for anyone interested in heritage architecture and being in walking distance of the city, the water and the inner suburbs’ fabulous cafes and restaurants.

Home Base with a lot of Character

What a lovely home base in Sydney! This terrace home has so much personality and character and was perfectly located within the city (easy walking distance to the CBD, and Darlinghurst is a neighborhood with great cafes and shops). We particularly enjoyed the heated floor in kitchen for our winter stay. Host was very quick to respond to question. Do note that street parking could be a bit tricky but was not impossible- we did end up spending quite a bit to park in a local parking lot. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Thanks so much Miranda for your lovely review. We will make sure with future bookings that we supply some resident street parking passes if they are needed. You are welcome to come back anytime. Regards Trevor
