Reviewer: Chris
Comments: Frances and Bruno are two very lovely hosts! Their house is a gem in an amazing suburb and the room is clean, big and airy! They respect your privacy but are always up for a chat if you feel like it. I really enjoyed their company and hospitality. And they will do all they can to make your stay the best it can be! In Short: Their Airbnb is the place to go if you’re in Sydney!

Reviewer: Rachel
Comments: Frances and Bruno were fabulous hosts. Extremely friendly, kind and accommodating and I definitely plan on staying here again. I enjoyed their lovely character home. The area is also great with some very good places to eat and drink nearby. I found it walkable to a lot of places including the CBD (but I do enjoy walking). However, Frances was very helpful with public transport information had I needed it.

Reviewer: Melina
Comments: Frances is an exceptional host, she takes great care of her guest, make sure everything is going well and enjoy conversation. She is always helpful if you needed anything. Her house is beautiful with a wonderful garden, very cosy, clean and close to the city (20 min walking distance to Hyde Park) in a very nice neighborhood with restaurants, galleries and shops. It is a very good spirit house. I felt very comfortable and I am very thankful!a

Reviewer: Juan
Comments: Frances and Bruno were great host, they worried about all the details and they even prepare a welcome dinner for me. A wonderful detail! The house is located some blocks from the central station, there are many restaurants and a supermarket near the house. It is easy to go to the most important places by bus. I enjoyed the experience a lot, thank you very much!

Reviewer: Rob
Comments: Frances and Bruno went out of their way to make my stay as comfortable as possible. I was made to feel part of the family, and extended my stay twice as it was such a great home to stay in. The home is lovely, in a great location and the service they provide is amazing value for money. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to stay!

Reviewer: Yulia
Comments: It's an amazing place to stay. Frances and Bruno are the best hosts, very genuine people - they gave a lot of tips and made sure that I feel comfortable in all respects. A special thanks for breakfast - simple but delicious. Location is very convenient. I also liked the whole house and the garden - very authentic and clean. A little dog Stephie is adorable and was (unfortunately) almost invisible. Zero disruption.
