Reviewer: Julie
Comments: Stayed with Kerri as we needed somewhere close to the family (who have grown too much to fit us into their small house). Beautiful apartment and a lovely bedroom and bathroom for our use. Kerri is a great host and a really nice person - with excellent taste. We'd be happy to recommend her place to anyone and be happy to stay there again.
-
Reviewer: Remon
Comments: Rather than an awesome room, Kerri was really an amazing host, very supportive and sociable. I enjoyed staying with her, it was a nice experience. She would never hesitate to answer any question or even to offer any kind help.

Reviewer: Twiny
Comments: The flat is as per the pictures: decorated with taste, offers nice spaces and is very clean. The room is very pretty and the double bed has a super comfy matress- good sleep guaranteed. It was also much appreciable to have a own bathroom&toilets. Kerri is welcoming and communicating with her was easy (i needed a room for the following day and she replied straight away). I felt comfortable as soon as I arrived, she is such a nice and warm person. Moreover she is full of attention, I did not stay long but the bathroom had been cleaned and new fresh towels provided. It was no problem to use the washing machine (There is a tumble dryer, but also the possibility to have the clothes dry on the balcony). Just felt like home. In short, a quality and easy stay with a fantastic host. I highly recommend anybody to stay at this place. Kerri, I will remember the discussion we had around a glass of wine! Thanks for having hosted me.

Reviewer: Remo
Comments: It was a great pleasure to stay in Kerri's house. Everything looked like on the picture. The flat was very tidy and clean. Kerri is a kind, open and helpful person and she knows a lot about the life and the world which means you can have very good discussions with her. I will never forget my stay and I can highly recommend to everyone to stay in Kerri's house!

Reviewer: Kirsten
Comments: Kerri's apartment in Petersham was comfortable and convienient for our stay in Sydney. Everything was beautifully presented and the bed was very comfy! We would stay again.

Reviewer: Greg
Comments: Staying with Kerri was my first airbnb experience and it could not have been better. Right from the moment I made the reservation, Kerri welcomed me with an offer of directions, which as it turned out I didn't need as her place was very easy to find. The apartment is beautiful and comfortable with much attention to detail. I was given a great bedroom with a very comfy bed and had my own beautifully appointed private bathroom. The place had the feel of a five star hotel, but with the added bonus of Kerri's friendliness. Immediately downstairs is a very cool cafe serving awesome breakfasts, so I ended up passing up the generous continental style breakfast that Kerri had offered me. The apartment location is perfect, as just down the road is the lively area of Newtown with its many bars and restaurants. I highly recommend staying with Kerri and look forward myself to staying there again in the future.

Reviewer: Gwen
Comments: Kerri hosted my Mother In Law while we had an overflow of guests in our house. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience than she got with Kerri. The apartment is like an immaculate hotel, with a very good sized bedroom and uber-modern bathroom for my MIL. Kerri was the perfect host and friend to my MIL, sharing movies, wine, stories and friends with her. Can't quite believe how perfectly it all worked out. Thanks so much Kerri!

Reviewer: Catherine
Comments: Staying at Kerri's was my first experience with Airbnb. It completely exceeded my expectations! I had such a fabulous experience thanks to Kerri. Her home is beautifully decorated and quite comfortable. I immediately felt right at home. Kerri couldn't have been more gracious. She is a very bright, fun-loving person and she made my stay in Sydney very special. I highly recommend staying at Kerri's place!

Reviewer: Anna-Maija
Comments: We are an elderly couple (but not old) from Finland visiting Australia and Sydney for the first time. Staying in Kerris place was also our first airbnb experiance and it is hard to imagine any better place and host for us. We were so pleased and happy all the time, 8 days. It was easy to use public transportation from Stanmore railwaystation. We used everything train, bus, ferry and even light rail. Kerris home is beautyfully furnished, just for our taste. And she had everything in order, very tidy, very organized. We had a very good brekfast and we even enjoyed two dinners with Kerri. Kerri helped us in every way even when we had some problems. We felt like we had visited a good friend. We can warmly suggest Kerris home for everyone. If we ever come to Sydney again we will try to meet Kerri again.

Comments: Kerri was a wonderful, very friendly host. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the bed very comfy.

Reviewer: Rod
Comments: I visit Sydney for work a few times a year and previously have stayed in motels. It is extremely difficult and expensive to find anything close to the city. So I thought I'd give airbnb a try and Kerri's place looked and sounded great. I was really pleased to have found Kerri's lovely apartment. Very comfortable and well designed and Kerri is the perfect host: even cooked me a lovely meal when I arrived and provided secure parking for my car. Kerri is very friendly and easy-going and you quickly feel like you're staying at an old friends house. Thanks Kerri. I'm sure I'll be looking to stay again on future trips to Sydney

Reviewer: Adnan
Comments: I had an amazing stay with Kerri. She has a beautiful place that is walking distance from Newtown, a hip neighbourhood where you can spend many hours wandering and discovering quaint shops. Kerri is very hospitable, she picked me up at the train station, and made me feel right at home. The room and the apartment overall are out of a design magazine. Beautifully done. Thanks Kerri!

Reviewer: Julie
Comments: We've stayed a few times with Kerri. She's a great host and her apartment is lovely. We're happy to recommend and look forward to our next visit.
-
Reviewer: Jack
Comments: Kerri's place was conveniently situated only about 20 minutes walk to theatres and restaurants in Newtown and about 20 mins drive to the airport for Saturday morning pick up. The bed was very comfortable, lovely bathroom and living area and Kerri was a helpful host. Being under the flight path was a novelty for our very short stay (and no planes overnight). However, the traffic noise from the busy main road was a bit of a problem for us and woke us up early. Although for convenience of location I would consider staying there again.

Reviewer: Gudrun
Comments: Kerri is a very nice person and a great host. The location was simply perfect for me…everything was how Kerri descried. I can recommend Kerri.

Reviewer: Graham
Comments: Kerri's was a lovely place to stay and she was both friendly and helpful too. It was only a short 15 minute train ride to the centre of Sydney so with a my multipass it was easy. Listen to kerri's hints and tips as Watson's bay was truly fabulous.
-
Reviewer: Lise
Comments: I arrived at Kerri's place, and thought, Hmmm...when can I move in? This is a fabulous apartment, and Kerri is a generous, thoughtful host who contributed a great deal to making my stay in Sydney very enjoyable indeed. Plus, we had a lot in common, which made for some lovely conversations! I would heartily recommend this place to travelers seeking a fine welcome in a beautiful apartment. Only word of note: if you're someone who needs absolute quiet, it's a bit noisy on weekday mornings (not weekends, which are much quieter).

Reviewer: Bernard
Comments: Our first australian experience was at Kerri's home. The place is located at 20 min from CBD and 2 train-stations from a vibrant and colorful place called Newton. Kerri has been more than helpful, provinding us with usefull and detailed information about Sydney and its surbubs, places of interest and much more. Everything was exactly as described. We are really looking forward to spending some more time in her apartment in a fortnight.

Reviewer: Bernard

The location is on walking distance to public transportation. If we are ever back in Sydney, we would have no hesitation to stay with Kerri again. Highly recommend! Thanks for a great stay !

Reviewer: Barb
Comments: Kerri’s place and Kerrie are special, even better than the pictures. I selected Kerri’s accommodation for ease of commuting by train and the beautiful décor. I balked at the prospect of hauling all my luggage up a slight hill to her place, and Kerri cheerfully was at the Petersham station in 5 minutes on a Saturday afternoon to drive me to her apartment. I found the Stanmore Station (less than a 15 minute walk past some nice houses) easier, and walked it at night and felt safe. I was at Kerri’s for a demanding conference, and being at her place was like a relaxing resort. The home ambiance is so beautiful and the plant and sun make it a very special home away from home. Some of the memorable touches: really soft sheets, a well-appointed private bathroom, a friendly cat, the self-serve breakfast of fruit/cereal/yogurt laid out in the morning (one morning she left eggs and a tomato with a pan and spatula too), the plants and view from the veranda where I ate and read, and the lovely decorations from her travels. There’s also a nice, upscale grocery just down the street. We didn’t see too much of each other, and the lengthiest time we spent was when Kerri generously took me to my rental car office in Mascot near the airport. Kerri’s friendly and adaptable when you have odd plans like I did. It was a treat to stay here!

Reviewer: Lisa
Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at Kerri's place. She is a wonderful host and very welcoming. There was a delicious cooked dinner on my arrival and a lovely Breakfast laid out for me to help myself in the morning. I enjoyed sitting on the spacious balcony looking back towards Sydney. The whole place is very clean. The bedroom is spacious and the bed very comfortable. I enjoyed my own bathroom with plenty of fresh towels. Kerry's place is a lovely peaceful home away from home. I would come back anytime I am in Sydney. Thank you very much Kerri.

Reviewer: Eleanor
Comments: Staying at Kerri's place was absolutely wonderful! Kerri is an awesome host, very friendly, warm, welcoming and great to talk to. She always ensured I was comfortable and even drove me to the next place I was staying in Dulwich Hill. A lovely breakfast of fruit, cereal and yoghurt was laid out for me to help myself every morning and Kerri made a yummy cooked breakfast for me on my last morning. I also enjoyed dinner a couple of times with Kerri which was great, she is a fantastic cook! The room was lovely, clean, really nicely decorated and with its own modern bathroom. I also loved the chocolates! Wish I could have stayed longer, I would definitely stay again. Thanks Kerri!

Reviewer: Ruth
Comments: Our first ever Airbnb experience was just perfect. Kerri is a lovely host, the apartment is very stylish and we had a yummy breakfast too. We couldn't have asked for anymore. Kerri was very efficient from the first point of contact and we were made to feel very welcome. She gave really good restaurant recommendations which is always nice when staying in a new area. The train station is close so it made everything accessible. We will definitely stay here again.

Reviewer: Annette
Comments: Had a great stay with Kerry who is a wonderful host. The location is excellent, just a short walk to Stanmore or Petersham stations with quick trips to the city and airport. Kerry's home is very clean and well laid out with plenty of privacy and your own bathroom. A great video and book library, beautiful deck area for meals and just relaxing...what more could you need? Breakfast was laid out and Kerry even cooked me a meal on arrival and picked me up from my daughters place. A wonderful host, beautiful home..... I'll be back! Thank you so much Kerry

Reviewer: 德衍
Comments: We had really good time in this beautiful house. The pillows, sheets and towels are clean and smell good. Its location is good. We walked less than 10 mins from Petersham station. The host prepared some fresh fruits, milk and toast for us for breakfast and we liked it very much. We will choose here to stay if we come Australlia again.
-
Reviewer: Bernard
Comments: It was the 3rd time we stayed at Kerri’s place and it was as perfect as the 1st time. The room is nicely decorated and big enough for accommodate comfortably 2 people and the bathroom next door was for our private use only. Kerri is a very communicative and interesting person, always ready for a chat and a glass of wine on the terrace or in the large living area. The apartment is well located, on walking distance from Stanmore train station, which is at about 20 min from CBD. I would recommend this place without hesitation to anyone who is looking for a comfy stay in Sydney.
-
Reviewer: Jodie
Comments: We stayed with Kerri after we had moved house and before flying to Europe for a holiday and it was exactly what we needed! Kerri is a lovely, thoughtful host, offering us breakfast for the morning and making sure we were comfortable. Her place is really lovely, the bed is very comfy and the shower is the best! It's also very conveniently located to the cafes, shopping and nightspots of Newtown and Enmore, with the city a short train ride away. I would highly recommend Kerri's to others looking for a Sydney stay.

Reviewer: Pierre
Comments: It was very fun to stay at Kerri place, Very nice house, to share time talking at night with Kerri on her balcony with wine was just perfect and lovely. Kerri make you feeling at home.

Reviewer: Angela
Comments: We had a wonderful time staying with Kerri for almost three weeks. She is a fantastic host and made us feel truly welcome in her lovely home. We especially enjoyed the delicious fresh fruit salad prepared freshly every day to accompany breakfast. The property is only a few minutes away from the train station, just 15 mins to the centre of the city, ideal for Sydney sightseeing. Newtown, with its vibrant shops and estaurants is just a short walk away which was excellent for us as we became regular visitors to the Cow and Moon (voted best ice cream in the world). We have no hesitation recommending Kerri and will definitely stay again when we next return to Australia.

Reviewer: Tim
Comments: What a pleasant surprise after a string of "less than expected" experiences on air BnB. The secure parking and lifts are just the beginning. Kerri has created a delightfully modern and stylish home that lends itself to being shared. Truly tasteful and functional bathroom, and it was all mine. It all continues upstairs with the perfect kitchen, a sun filled dining and lounge area, flowing out onto large private deck with views of a vast city skyline, including the harbour bridge, which is probably ten kilometres away. Truly magnificent. Yes there are some big noises from the road out front and the jumbo jets above, but it really isn't a problem. Kerri loves this space and who wouldn't.
