Neighborhood Overview
Glebe is an early and original inner city suburb off Sydney dating from the 1800's. It is marked by terraces and workers cottages. It has a mix of people from students - for the nearby University of Sydney - to those renting to owners of all walks of life. Its closeness to the city but without the business of a city is its attraction.
Notes
There is no off street parking. Streets in the area and in the Glebe suburb are mostly restricted parking of 2 to 4 hours between the hours of 8am to 6 to 10 pm each day. Visitor parking permits are available allowing daily parking in any Glebe suburb restricted parking streets where the parking signs exempt Area G permits - which is streets around the house and in almost all other streets of Glebe. The upstairs rooms are accessed by stairs. The stairs are like usual stairs in Sydney terraces. The stairs are carpeted with a hand rail. Some may find the stairs "steep". Some one with a physical impairment, or of some age with physical limitations, may have difficulty negotiating the stairs. The stairs are shown in photos of the house. Two bedrooms are on the ground level on the house so those who may not be able to use the stairs will have unimpeded use to these rooms.
Transit
Buses regularly connect to the city and suburbs along Glebe Point Road. Times between buses is 10 to 20 minutes. The Light Rail, nearby, regularly connects to the city and Central Railway Station which has a direct train connection to the domestic and international airports. The Light Rail runs every 10 minutes in peak hours and 20 minutes at other times.
Access
The house has a rear courtyard and pond sheltered by a large tree, which allows for outside meeting and eating. The kitchen has a Miele electric oven, a gas 4 plate stove and a dishwasher. The laundry has a front loaded Bosch washer and a separate dryer. Wifi is available. The house has 2 TV's - one in the upstairs main bedroom and one in the lounge. There is air conditioning in the 2 upstairs bedrooms and air-conditioning in the bathroom.

Bill's house is an opulent oasis. We were 3 colleagues in town for a trade show, and this was a wonderful base to relax in. 2 mins walk from the light rail station made it really easy to get around. The third bedroom is up a flight of quite steep stairs. There are good hand rails, but those with limited mobility would be better in the downstairs rooms. Beautiful things surround you throughout the property. The beds were very comfortable and there were plenty of amentites. A true home away from home. Highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice house Best place to live in Sydney. Bill is a very nice man who takes care of his guests and their wishes. Absolutely reconommable
Jun 27, 2019Great. House in reachable location. Really comfy beds and all needs catered for. Good communication. Very highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019Bills's Place is exactly as described and with 4 bedrooms certainly has plenty of space. We loved the little courtyard in the back with the fishpond. The beautiful antique furniture and deco was a nice touch to a classic terrace house in contrast to the modern kitchen and bathroom. The house manual was very helpful in explaining everything to do with the house. Location is perfect, just 2 minutes walk to the light rail and 2 minutes to shops and restaurants. Bill was very helpful with our request to extend our stay a couple of hours so we didn't need to wait at the airport. We would definitely like to stay again.
Jun 27, 2019This is a beautiful, well-equipped and comfortable home full of eclectic decor and in a great location, close to transport, cafes, restaurants, interesting shops and markets. The stairs to the top bedroom are steep and the only bathroom is on the ground floor, so not suitable for anyone with disabilities or young children, but perfect for those who appreciate beauty and art and good living and prefer to be in an area that is lively and hip during the day but quiet at night. The sunny courtyard is a bonus, as are the friendly neighbours.
Jun 27, 2019Great house and location highly recommend
Jun 27, 2019Very beautiful house, worth the money! Very good communication and we even checked in early. Definitely be back again.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful period house. Very spacious and tidy. Amazing location so close to transport and city. Made to feel very welcome by our host. An absolute pleasure. Would choose to stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Great location to central city. Bill's home is very nice, clean and had great amenities. Bill sorted parking permits for us which was great. Thanks, we will definitely be back.
Jun 27, 2019Feel like living in owb own home. Amazing house with beautiful garden. Close to Darling Harbour, about 20 minutes walk. Close to restaurants and supermarket. The host was very supportive and quick response for any querry or issue. Absolutely will come back if travelling to Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, great for family, plenty of amenities and supplies provided and quick helpful host . Would definitely stay again. Book about property was great for advice as well as house information and history. Thanks for a great stay
Jun 27, 2019A lovely house in a great location with a very thoughtful and considerate host. A real find!
Jun 27, 2019Bill's place is full of characters as he stated in his advertising. Lots of books, pictures, vases, antiques and more. It is spacious and comfortable. Nice kitchen and bathroom, very clean. Beautiful courtyard - unfortunately we could not enjoy much due to lots of stormy days. We suggest people with children younger than four years old be more thoughtful about renting the place, due to Bill's antiques displays in the house. Also taking your children to toilet at night is a bit of a walk.
Jun 27, 2019Lovely house in great central location, 2 minute walk to light rail station. Great couples house, very comfortable and everything we needed was there.
Jun 27, 2019Great location
Jun 27, 2019Bill has been a wonderful host, very communicative and helpful with the checking in and out process as I booked his place on behalf of my in laws. My in laws enjoyed their stay and I would recommend his place to other travelers traveling in a group.
Jun 27, 2019Staying at Bill's place is a home away from home. Beautifully decorated and enough room for 3 couples. Comfy beds, beautiful courtyard. It has everything you need, full kitchen if cooking. Very conveniently located in Glebe, only minutes from Light Rail Station, a short walk to Glebe Point Road to busses that take you into the CBD, lots and lots of restaurants, cafes, supermarkets. A short walk to the Glebe Markets held every Saturday (a must do in Glebe). Bill was very helpful and prompt in communicating, his book is very informative. Parking is scarce in Glebe, however Bill was able to supply parking permits at a very small cost. Value for money!!!
Jun 27, 2019Very nice house and Bill is very thoughtful.
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful home.... an oasis on the city. Close enough to everything but when you close the door it is a sanctuary within the hustle and bustle. Sit in the private garden and relax.
Jun 27, 2019房子很有特色,让我感觉到房东的文化底蕴丰厚。地理位置十分满意。房东人很好,我们早上退房下午飞机,就帮我们保管行李,好让我们早上去逛。
Jun 27, 2019Bill is a most helpful and hospitable host, and the house is beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. It is located in a leafy suburb close to the CBD & right around the corner from restaurants, cafes and bars. Bill's place is the perfect base from which to explore Sydney and is a pleasure to come home to after a day out. The bedrooms are spacious, the kitchen is newly renovated and contains everything you need, and the living area is homely and comfortable. Bill's home is furnished with interesting and unique artworks and antiques, and the courtyard is a relaxing spot to enjoy a morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019Do yourself a favour and stay at Bills house. The locations in Glebe is wonderful, close to the city and Glebe but in a gorgeous quiet location. The house is really big and allows a large group to expand into the space. Bill is a very accommodating host. Thanks for everything.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, excellent host, very well provisioned house. Spacious bedrooms, good quality linen. Super kitchen. Had a great stay.
Jun 27, 2019Bill is nice and patient. He made a very useful information booklet for all customers, including all kinds of travel information you need! The house is more amazing than the photos on website. You won't be disappointed!
Jun 27, 2019A beautiful house, in an amazing location. Bill, a great host. Everything was easy and simple. I really recommend it!
Jun 27, 2019Bill's place was FANTASTIC! The house was very clean, organized and Bill was a very hospitable host. Definitely a hidden gem in a great part of the city! Thanks for making our NYE stay great!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful home, great location, very comfortable, great host. Thanks for a perfect stay Bill. We felt very lucky to enjoy your beautiful home. Robyn
Jun 27, 2019Bill was a lovely host, easy to communicate with, quick to respond. He ensured we had everything we needed and knew the locations of nearby essentials. The house was spacious, clean and equiped with all we needed. Beautiful art.
Jun 27, 2019The house is an older style, full of character and art, and Chinese (Website hidden by Airbnb) has spacious bedrooms and modern kitchen equipped with all the appliances,however we found the living area a bit dark, with no sunlight during the day. Another con would be only one toilet for the whole house. The host is very responsive and happy to assist anytime. Overall a nice stay, and would recommend it to the fellow travellers.
Jun 27, 2019整套房子干净,整洁。布置的比较紧凑温馨。摆放了很多画,照片,装饰品,Bill是非常周到细致的主人,准备了详细周边购物,交通,出游指南。厨房用具非常全,我们一家五口做饭聚餐,不亦乐乎。距离旁边轻轨站Glebe只有100多米,很方便。主人家的小院子很棒,还有个小鱼池,绿植茂密,坐在院子里吃酒喝茶也是美事!
Jun 27, 2019Bill很贴心的提醒我们一点钟可以提前入住了。对于凌晨七点到达的一大家子早休息一个小时很重要,关键是感觉到了切实的关心。 距离鱼市场步行十分钟,然后从鱼市场距离daring harbor十分钟,中间经过一个儿童乐园不错。继续步行十分钟就到了海德公园,然后一路沿着公园走到皇家公园。临近海边看当地人锻炼身体,读书,几个朋友喝啤酒都十分惬意。 悉尼核心区步行一个半小时够了。带着孩子们走走停停,步行是最好的选择。 感谢Bill准备的旅游建议。桌子上放了一大本书。各种电器使用说明,到远近的商店信息。很用心的人。屋里各地带回来的艺术品。泰国的,中国的元素不少。推荐大家来悉尼住在Bill家。再次感谢
Jun 27, 2019Bill is a very nice people,he gives me a lot of tips how to tour in Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019My family and I had a great stay at Bill's Place. The house was roomy, with everything you need, and in great central location to get around Sydney. Bill was also very responsive and detailed in his communication. Would highly recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Beautifully appointed place conveniently located to city transit. Gracious, accommodating, informative host. Highly recommend!!
Jun 27, 2019Bill’s place is fantastic and fantastically located. He was also a very attentive host providing lots of helpful info and responding quickly. Thanks Bill!
Jun 27, 2019Highly recommended this amazing terrace home. The owner has thought of EVERYTHING. truly felt as if we had the experience of a lifetime. Comfortably slept 5 adults with room for extras if we needed it. Don't go past this air bnb.... It was our first and blew us out of the water....
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful house in a great location, easy to walk into city or the light rail is only a five minute walk from the house. Bill was very accommodating as we arrived two hours earlier than expected (party of six). Also let us stay longer than normal checkout time. Everything you need for your stay is detailed in the house manual, bill also took the time to show us around explaining the workings of the house. Only issue for us (Scottish folk) was we couldn’t open any of the windows as no fly screens, maybe not a problem for others though. Would recommend staying here.
Jun 27, 2019Bill was a great host. He met us at the house and showed us around. He gave us a lot of tips. The house is amazing. So beautiful with everything you might need! We can definitely recommend staying here! It is beautiful!
Jun 27, 2019Amazing house. Beautifully decorated, quiet, relaxing. So close to public transport, restaurants and shops. Tea, coffee and condiments included.Full laundry and fully equipped kitchen. Delightful outdoor areas. Plenty of information about the area. Better than the best hotel. True luxury. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.
Jun 27, 2019What an inner-city haven this place is. Even more charming than it appears in the photos. Clean, quite and perfectly situated in Glebe for all it has to offer, as well as close to transport options to take you where ever you want to go. Highly recommended
Jun 27, 2019Bill's house is located at strategic place where you can reach to many tourist spots easily. The walking distance from the house to Sydney fish market is less than 10 minutes. There is a light rail station nearby. We were impressed when we see the fully equipped kitchen.You can even do some baking stuff with this nice kitchen. We feel grateful when Bill allowed us to check in earlier and check out late. He is a good host and his house is well maintained.
Jun 27, 2019It was a wonderful stay for me and my family at Bill's house. It is exactly as what is there in the description and photos. Would strongly recommend to stay here if one is traveling to Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019Such a gorgeous house and so spacious for the location! Would stay again!!
Jun 27, 2019This was my first airbnb experience and I really hope my future ones are as oustanding as this one. The place is in a good location, clean and modern but you still get the 1800s terrace housing experience. All amenities were outstanding and very good detailed information was provided.
Jun 27, 2019The house is amazing - beautiful interior design and decorations. A handy house manual tells you lots of stories behind the house and it’s fascinating. Great location, all rooms are spacious and got comfy bed, very clean and kitchen is well equipped with everything you could need. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019If you are looking for a great 4 bedroom place in Glebe with heaps of history & character then look no further than Bills place. Retains some of the original charm with some furniture & decorations which it has a great new kitchen & bathroom. On a quiet street walking distance from Glebe shops or only a quick cab ride to city this is a great launching pad to explore the city from. Highly recommend Bills place.
Jun 27, 2019Hi Bill, we had a great stay. Thanks so much for your hospitality. The house was lovely and clean and well equipped. Easy walk down to Darling Harbour each day of our conference. Perfect location. Highly recommended
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic home with plenty of space, close to public transport and eclectic mix of art and furniture. Would stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation 80 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jul 27, 2019Good value, close to local cafes and transport. Nice to have room for 3 couples to feel at home an not in a hotel.
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic place, far better than the photos show. Great location just out of the hustle of the CBD. Highly recommended.
Jun 27, 2019The ambience of the house is wonderful, the location is great for exploring Sydney CDS/Harbour area. Just take note there are 4 brms and 1 bathroom.
Jun 27, 2019Great place thanks bill !
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic house with beautiful art work and comfortable amenities. Close to public transport, downtown Glebe and Sydney CBD. Bill was very hospitable. Will stay again.
Jun 27, 2019Highly recommend Bill’s place for space and location. It far exceeded our expectations. A very stylish environment. The host was first rate.
