Reviewer: Tom
Comments: Had a lovely stay with my girlfriend. The view off the balcony was absolutely amazing, felt like a 5 star hotel. Oliver was very accommodating and gave us some handy tips for things to do in the area - thanks so much for such a great stay!

Reviewer: Febrinna
Comments: This was my first airbnb and I can hardly put this property into words. The place was clean and comfortable and the view from the balcony was amazing. Waking up in the morning and hearing the horses clip clopping around Randwick racecourse was special and unique. Oliver was super accomodating and he was a great host. I was only there for a night but will definitely stay again!

Reviewer: BanHup
Comments: This is our second time in 3 months that we are back to this place. That tells a lot of my preference for this airbnb. We love the location - near shops and restaurants and especially its proximity to UNSW where my son is now studying. It is clean and well equipped. To top it all, Oliver is a great host being very flexible and responsive. I would highly recommend his place to everyone.

Reviewer: Amanda
Comments: Olivers place is absolutely beautiful! It has a stunning view over the racecourse, so it's a very quiet and peaceful part of Sydney. The apartment was so clean with a very elegant and sophisicted style, I felt so comfortable and right at home. The location is perfect for getting around anywhere in Sydney, close public transport and only a 10 minute drive to city, double bay, Alexandria- it's perfect! I will definitely be staying again! Thanks Oliver :)

Reviewer: Julie
Comments: My husband and I stayed here for a week. The place is great, it had everything we needed. We checked in on a Saturday (race day) and got to watch some of the horses race by from the balcony...with a glass of wine! I also enjoyed watching the horses being trained/walked early in the mornings. The TV was huge and we enjoyed watching Netflix/Stan. Having WiFi was also a bonus. We would definitely recommend friends/family to stay here. We would stay again. Thanks Oliver!

Reviewer: Brent
Comments: Olivers place is great very quite peaceful areas in Sydney eastern suburbs beautiful new apartment with views of the racecourse Oliver is a great host easy to communicate with for check in and out
-
Reviewer: Judith
Comments: Oliver's place is in a really unique location. When it said trackside at Randwick I didn't really expect that I would be able to sit on the lovely balcony watching the horse train in the morning, like I was in a track side grandstand but that is exactly what happened! It is spacious for a studio, thoughtfully furnished and beautifully clean. I really enjoyed my stay.
-
Reviewer: Gordon
Comments: This apartment presented just as anticipated. Terrific location quiet, relaxing, light comfortable and sunny. We only ate in for breakfast but having breakfast on the balcony in the sun with the horses training and the picturesque Randwick Racecourse on your door step was quite special. Oliver was very welcoming and leaving a bowl of fresh fruit on the dining table was a very nice touch. Highly recommend this property

Reviewer: Erica
Comments: This place is amazing. Lovely location, place/furnishing looks just as great as the pictures. Extremely safe area as well. Oliver was a great host with quick responses!
-
Reviewer: Meggie
Comments: My daughter and I had a wonderful stay at Oliver's place at 'The Stables'. It is new, fresh, comfortable with everything you need and a beautiful balcony opening up to the breeze. We really enjoyed the view overlooking the racecourse, and loved watching the horses getting walked past the apartment. We needed to stay close to the Prince of Wales hospital and I particularly liked that there was a secure car parking space for our car.

Reviewer: Kevin
Comments: Lovely spacious studio with lots of natural light and very modern! Close to bus stops which go to CBD/beaches etc. everything you could need in the apartment and great view right onto the racecourse, would highly recommend Oliver’s place to anyone, he was very helpful & efficient with any questions we had!
-
Reviewer: Rohit
Comments: Oliver’s apartment is conveniently located and has good quality equipment. He is also very responsive. However it appears that he has not paid attention to the cleanliness aspect and we found the place to be quite unclean with used unwashed bed sheets and covers and smelly towels. The supplies were also running low and we had to replenish them (though he did reimburse us). The trash can had something sticky and gooey in it so we just used trash bags without the dustbin. The tea supplies were past expiry date. All in all an unpleasant experience - wouldn’t go there again. Oliver says his cleaners let him down! Anyway, he refunded the cleaning fees, but frankly I expected a clean place to begin with with a so called “5 Star” host. Spoiled our trip. Never again!
-
Reviewer: Stew
Comments: Great view of the racecourse and a good place to be away on business. Everything needed to cook a meal was there plus a stash of various sauces, herbs and spices. Mostly very quiet, but expect to hear the clip clop of horses passing by the window in the early morning.
-
Reviewer: Helena
Comments: This is a great place to stay and will make you feel to stay longer. Nice place and amenities, close to everywhere.

Reviewer: Carolyn
Comments: Great place, convenient to the bus into town. Appreciated the condiments etc. Would stay again.

Reviewer: Libby
Comments: For my three day work stint at the UNSW this was a perfect base. Clean, quiet and comfortable. I liked the minimalist yet stylish decor. The shower was great, and the kitchen had everything I needed and more. Oliver is a lovely host. I needed his help with a couple of things and he was responsive and considerate. An enjoyable stay.
-
Reviewer: Gener
Comments: Oliver was very helpful and responded to messages timely. The place was clean and has great amenities I needed, close to Unsw and nice restaurants in the area. Highly recommended
-
Reviewer: Andrew
Comments: The apartment is exceptionally clean, comfortable and perfectly presented. Oliver is extremely hospitable and lightning fast with communication and thoughtfulness. He went above and beyond letting me drop off some luggage early. Easy check-in/ out and perfectly located for quietness, yet close to anything you need. Everything was much better than expected, don't hesitate to book this place because I will next time I have the opportunity. The view of the race track while having coffee each morning was pretty cool too!
-
Reviewer: Rory
Comments: Oliver's apartment is in a great location. 100m walk if you need to catch public transport or comes with a dedicated underground car spot if you it. Well fitted out with everything that I needed for my stay. Clean, fast wifi, netflix, comfy bed, view over Randwick racetrack, good cooking facilities and bathroom. Oliver was quick to respond to any communication. Thanks Oliver for the stay.
-
Reviewer: Jeremy
Comments: Great modern design interior and located right in front of the horse racetrack. Those traveling with a car will greatly appreciate the free underground private parking space available. Will definitely stay here again!
-
Reviewer: Bruce
Comments: Oliver’s place is exactly as described but better. Great location for local food and parks and great access to public transport to the city. Highly recommend and will be looking to stay again on my next business trip.
-
Reviewer: Jo
Comments: A great modern spacious apartment in a secure apartment complex. Perfect for what I needed. Has a laundry & full kitchen & basic kitchen essentials which was great for the meals I cooked. Also excellent public transport options only a few minutes walk away. Fantastic to have a secure car park if you do have a vehicle. The bed was also super comfy. Oliver was great to deal with always replying straight away. My only negative would be that it can be a little noisy. You can hear the lift which is just outside, the family with kids next door & the horses training in the morning. I am however a very light sleeper so may not be an issue for others & despite this I had a great stay & would recommend highly.

Reviewer: Joakim

Reviewer: Mikhail
Comments: My wife and I loved Oliver's studio! Very clean and modern with beautiful views of Royal Randwick Racecourse. You get to see the trainers take their gorgeous horses for their afternoon stroll as you relax out on the balcony overlooking a plant nursery and the racetrack. The amenities were great and Oliver was very quick to respond to any enquiries. The studio is located in very close proximity to a lot of great restaurants. We were very happy with our stay.

Reviewer: Gabrielle
Comments: Oliver’s place is great. Perfect location with lovely view of race track. Oliver has prompt response with easy check in and check out. Lovely apartment. Next door neighbours and kids slightly noisy and apartment is next to elevator so there is a little bit of noise at night time. Nothing to deter you from booking this great space! Thanks for the stay.
