A very well kept house in birchgrove and only a few minutes walk to buses into the city or a slightly longer walk to the ferry. The check in and out process was managed really well. Good size with a nice courtyard space. A pleasure to stay there.
Jun 27, 2019A great place to stay. Close to Darling Street cafes and resturants.
Jun 27, 2019This place is awesome. Within minutes of Darling street, filled with cafes and restaurants. There was a cot for our 1 year old and even fresh milk for him in the fridge.
Jun 27, 2019Good stays and just walk a bit to darling street with many bars and restaurants as well as woolworth if you want buy stuffs for preparing your meal
Jun 27, 2019Brilliant 2 bedroom place perfect for a short stay in Balmain. The house is close to Darling street shops and there is a bus stop about 5 mins walk that goes directly into CBD. Theres also a ferry stop which is about 10mins walk and we used that once for an alternative route into town. Theres a pleasant park down the road with fantastic views onto harbour bridge from Birchgrove. The house itself is high spec with everything we needed and we loved using the courtyard for breakfast. Host was excellent and they installed an air con in the living room which worked out really well given the hot summer in Sydney at the time. Couldn't fault the place- highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019We really enjoyed our stay at the property in Birchgrove, and we were able, very easily, to make it our home for the 3 weeks we were there in late Summer.... The property was very comfortable, well equipped, and had a great contemporary feel behind the unassuming facade... its location, is well positioned to explore Sydney, with great bus and ferry transport links all of which made our stay on the Balmain peninsular very enjoyable. The local area has many great shops, cafes, restaurants and bars to discover too... it has a lovely village feel. We were met at the property when we arrived by an agent, who made our arrival very easy, and then replied to our texts very promptly during our stay... He was also able to arrange a later check out time, which really helped with our onward journey. A great stay.... and highly recommended listing...
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay, especially if you have kids.
Jun 27, 2019Good location if you're looking for proximity to Balmain & transport to city. Good kids room downstairs. A selection of toys too. No problems with communication etc. Currently no curtains on the windows in the main bedroom which meant we didn't sleep well, hopefully the owner will remedy this.
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic house, close to the main drag of Darling St for food and drink. Super quick into the city too. Lovely area and decor.
Jun 27, 2019Great spot and cute house with all the essentials.
Jun 27, 2019In Sydney on business and so lovely to stay in such a beautiful, comfortable home away from home.
Jun 27, 2019Second week in Sydney for business, and enjoyed staying in this lovely home. The neighbourhood is just gorgeous and a calming respite after a busy day!
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay in this lovely part of Sydney. So close to shops, restaurants and public transport. Lovely walks near the harbour. Accurately described and photographed.
Jun 27, 2019Amazing house, secure, clean, comfortable, sensational location, wonderful communication. What more could you ask for from an Airbnb? Highly Recommended!!
Jun 27, 2019Travelled to Sydney for business and stayed here for 4 nights. The property was very modern and close to darling street. The whole process was seamless and would highly recommend!
Jun 27, 2019The home is just lovely. Very comfortable and gorgeous design. Everything you would need is provided. Great location. Beautiful bedroom with sound blocking Windows and a very comfortable bed. Can't recommend the property highly enough. Try it out!! Eliza
Jun 27, 2019My stay at Alex and Kristina's home was great. Extremely clean with everything you need. Spot on description and photos to what I experienced. Geoff who will look after you is helpful and sweet. Highly recommended oh and btw a fabulous location with great eateries and not far from east balmain ferry terminal.
Jun 27, 2019Had a great stay at Alex and Kristina's lovely place . Parking was great and everything wonderful Balmain had to offer was within walking distance . Thank you Alex and Kristina for allowing us to stay . Regards Nicole
Jun 27, 2019This is a wonderful home and I've enjoyed my multiple stays here. Hosts have been attentive and great at communicating, making for an easy and wonderful stay.
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful place and very good location, with everything we needed and more. We'll definitely come back! Can't recommend enough.
Jun 27, 2019Cute family house with a bit of style and artsiness. 5-10mn walk to Darling St restaurants and grocer, 15-20mn walk to ferry. Plenty of buses to take you into town. Quiet hood close to CBD with a clear hip factor but not trendy. Great communication with very nice property manager. Super clean. Only complaints would be the hard pillows (we both got stiff necks), slippery bathtub (but it’s a great size!), no bedroom door so not private if anyone’s downstairs (the stairs lead up to an open bedroom), great heat but rises up to the bedroom so if you want to warm up the downstairs it gets really hot in the bedroom (hard to balance the two), they’ve covered the bedroom window with a nice shade but it doesn’t cover the awkwardly shaped diagonal window so light comes in at one corner (we covered that spot with a pillow). Overall a good stay but does have its small quirks.
