Summary: Climb the stairs, and you are in a world of your own. A luxury Queen bed, modern ensuite bathroom and forest view is yours. Its a house with Japanese levels of thoughtfulness, good people, and a cute cat and chickens.

Space: This home was made for people who are busy changing the world, or at least their part of it, and need a leafy green re-charge, right here. Your room is at the top of the stairs, with sunshine and a view of the leafy forest below. There is a big lazy ceiling fan, and for those hot summer days, we provide you with an extra pedestal fan. There is a high-quality Queen bed, excellent quality linen, and modern bathroom. The main living room is airy and high-ceilinged. There is a cute cat, and 3 chickens roam the garden. They will give you an egg for breakfast. All this peacefulness is just 10 minutes to Sydney Central Station. Our house is semi-Japanese. That means, we aspire to be super-observant, doing the small things that matter. Like keeping your room crisp and restful, and making you happy. I usually have live-in assistants who help keep the place nice, and you looked after. We often do easy yoga in the evenings, and you will be invited to join in. There is no T.V. here, that hel

Neighborhood Overview: Its leafy, with lovely cafes and creative shops nearby in cute Booth Street. There is even a scientific gift shop. Sydney's "little Italy' is down the road, in Norton St, with quirky bookshops, cinema, events and street life.

Notes: If you look at the profiles of my past guests, you will notice they are all rather wonderful. I prefer to leave rooms empty otherwise. "You are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with". If you are here, you are already an honoured guest.

Transit: Its 4 minutes walk to the Bus stop on Parramatta road, with busses to the city every 5 minutes. Have you heard of O-Bike? Its a dock-free bike borrowing scheme with lots of bikes lining the bike track, waiting for you to scan and ride, wherever and whenever you like.

Access: Feel free to use the kitchen for your breakfasts, and you dinners too, by arrangement before booking. We will make a spot for you to keep your ingredients. Check in is from 4pm. If you want an earlier check-in, just ask and we will arrange it for you, wherever possible.

Interaction: As much or little as they wish. I choose guests who I admire and enjoy, so our interactions are meaningful and fun. Because of the Japanese culture, we are good at yielding to each other, to make life collision free. There are other wonderful, thoughtful volunteers and housemates living here, and are a joy to live with, even if you hardly see each other.

House Rules: This house is for sociable introverts who are thoughtful, yielding, soft-spoken and contributing to a better world. Make sure you have a profile that tells me about what you do: your hobbies, interests, profession, and dreams for the future. Make sure it has a clear photo, and the person you are traveling with is also clearly described. Guests must be over 26 years of age, or equivalent. Make sure you are able to share a bathroom gracefully, clean up after yourself. Make sure any phonecalls, or watching videos is done privately, so as not to disturb other residents. Use of the kitchen is by arrangement. Don't smoke on the street in front of the house. Sorry to have to say all this. I usually only choose people I know will do this naturally, but Im trying instant book for the first time.

  • Reviewer: James

    Comments: We had a lovely stay here - just one night. Quiet, relaxing, a lovely second floor room and picturesque backyard.

  • Reviewer: Kohei

    Comments: Various of people are together in her house. You can talk and have dinner with them without something wall. Cecilia will teaches us about permaculture if you want. 'Cause she is crazy about it. For me the story was very interesting.

  • Reviewer: Zazie

    Comments: A warm greeting by Cecilia and a gorgeous haven away from the hustle and bustle. With possibly the comfiest bed around! Thank you Cecilia, we will definitely book again!

  • Reviewer: Clive

    Comments: It's a lovely house in a quiet street. Cecilia is a wonderful host who keeps the house clean and tidy, and we would happily return. Her young guests were very interesting people. It's a treat to have an ensuite bathroom at an Airbnb place. The upstairs Zen room is a little world of its own.

  • Reviewer: Jovita

    Comments: I enjoyed every moment of my stay in this house - full of light, style, harmony and fresh smell of flowers. But the most important that due to my stay in Cecilia's house, I found my own people, who are searching for something more and strive for bigger in their lives. I loved this experience of sharing, learning and living together like a family. Definitely, my time in Sydney was so amazing thanks to this exceptional chance to live in this lovely house.

  • Reviewer: Kevin

    Comments: Cecilia's place is extra-ordinary, she makes the house feel very peaceful and chilled! Having great interesting guests where interaction is relaxed and enjoyable! I would stay again where ever your next home is. Thanks very much, Kevin

  • Reviewer: Claus

    Comments: The stay at Cecilias and her housemates home was inspiring. Great People, perfect surrounding! It is a pitty, that this house will not be available soon .... My best wishes!

  • Reviewer: Santosh

    Comments: Cecilia is a wonderful soul and her communication was excellent. The place was very unique and felt like I was meditating in a wood but with all the comforts of a home. We had some great conversations and her housemates were also very friendly. Unfortunately, her place at Annandale is not going to exist anymore but I wish her all the best and hope to stay at her new location in my future trip. Cecelia, thank you very much for everything and all the best for your upcoming adventures !

  • Reviewer: Margaret

    Comments: What Cecilia has created in the Inner West of Sydney is nothing short of amazing! The house is quite magical and the garden likewise with chooks and wonderful plants providing a restful experience after a long day of work. What a pity I was the last guest. Please look out for what Cecilia does next though. I have no doubt it will be onward and upward!
