Neighborhood Overview
The Cov is very comfortable Federation home located in a quiet neighbourhood with amazing city views at the end of the street offering easy access to a vibrant, ethnic Australian community awash with exciting food, cafes, shopping, entertainment and of course ‘The City of Sydney’ just down the way. You can walk down to Lazy Bones for some great live Jazz or to Camelot Lounge for some eclectic World music.Prior to your check-in you will get an email with our own Foodie Tips and Handy Hints which will ensure your stay is both enjoyable and allows you an immersive experience into our own 'the Brooklyn of Sydney.'
Notes
We provide high quality bed linen and bath towels. Once you have made your reservation please advise whether you will be needing both bedrooms made up (maximum of 4 x guests) or just one bedroom during your stay. Both bedrooms have supremely comfortable Queen beds and pillows, with ceiling fans for the summer and gas heating for you feel cosy throughout in the winter.
Transit
In Sydney an Opal Smartcard is a requirement for public transport. It can be purchased Online, at the Airport, most Newsagents. Load up a dollar value onto your Opal card at the airport or any station to cover trains, buses, ferries and light rail on the NSW Opal Network. AIRPORT TRANSFER: Yep! You can do it by train but after a flight with suitcases and case of jet lag why not just take an Uber, Taxi or Hire Car. It’s affordable and The Cov is only 15mins drive. Prior to your check-in I email a very comprehensive Travel Tips guide which includes info about trains, light rail, buses which are all walking distance and minutes away.

You can access all areas of The Cov. It is entirely at your disposable for you to relax and enjoy. Our Federation home is on one level (no stairs to negotiate). The beautifully tiled bathroom offers both a bath and a large walk-in shower with washer and dryer facilities. The living room has a large comfy couch to enjoy the LCD TV ( with Fetch TV and free movies from Movie Box). The wifi is free and fast.

Rules
Please treat The Cov as you would your own resting place otherwise an extra cleaning fee will be deducted from the security bond. Friendly reminder that for the comfort of all guests there is a STRICT NO SMOKING in the house. There is also a STRICT NO PARTY POLICY. Any violation of this will result in eviction from the property and additional cleaning management fees being charged to the Bond. Yes, there is a Bond but I have never once had to make a claim on it. Let's all keep this good track record !

We absolutely loved staying at The Cov. The house was delightful, full of character, clean and equipped with everything we could need. Communication from Joy was excellent and the location of the house was perfect for us. We highly recommend staying at this place and we'll be back for sure, we hope. Joy was also hugely helpful when I left my earrings behind. She went out of her way to make sure I had them before we were on the road again.
Jun 27, 2019Joy's house is very conveniently located to restaurants, bars, cafes, public transport and great food shopping in a great neighborhood. Her home is thoughtfully appointed and very comfortable with convenient self check-in
Jun 27, 2019Close to shops and public transport, great kitchen, neat and clean, great communication.
Jun 27, 2019The location for us was perfect . It is close to shops restaurants and public transport. The house had everything we needed.
Jun 27, 2019Really a comfortable house for the family. Very convenient traffic to the city and community nearby. Only 4 minutes' walk to Marrickville train station. The house is federation style with beautiful high ceiling, the landlord has excellent taste for selection of pictures, such as oil painting, Chinese painting, scenery pictures, make the house vivid, I like them very much! The facilities in the kitchen are all ready. The landlord is very communicative, thoughtful. The car can be parked alongside the street freely. By the way, there is a very good Chinese restaurant supplying Canton breakfast, tasteful and original, just by 10 minutes' walk.
Jun 27, 2019This is a great space in Marrickville, I was working in the area and it really suited my needs. I would not hesitate to stay again.
Jun 27, 2019Stylish house, great location, perfect!
Jun 27, 2019This apartment is really beautyful! We loved the perfect kitchen equipment. All the lovely details and the warm atmosphere made us feel like home. Very friendly and caring host. :-)
Jun 27, 2019The Cov House is beautiful, and beautifully appointed. We cooked a Christmas lunch there and found everything we needed in the kitchen, and the rest of the house was no different. Joy responds promptly to messages and was very helpful both before and during our stay. We had a lovely Christmas and couldn’t have asked for anything more.
Jun 27, 2019This is the perfect house for two couples. Very well equiped and location is close to shops and train station. Highly recomended
Jun 27, 2019A very modern and cosy but truly historical house! Parks, supermarkets, public transport within walking distance. The library is fantastic!
Jun 27, 2019Nice house, comfortable and near to everything. If you have any question Joy will answer ASAP and so kindly. The experience has been a real pleasure!! Thank you once again!!!!
Jun 27, 2019Joy is a super smart host that has thought of everything a guest could need. Seems silly, but I appreciated all the USB chargers around the house in the perfect spots. Really considerate with her communications too. Was as smooth as you'd hope.
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay here. Just like the pictures - maybe better! Very clean with excellent amenities. Very convenient location. Joy was a joy to deal with. Would happily recommend & will be staying again.
Jun 27, 2019Great stay! Very close the train. We are local so know the area!. It doesn’t have a garden but a short drive to parks.
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay, the house is family friendly and in an excellent location! Joy was very accommodating and responsive to all of our questions. We had a very nice little journey by train into the city each day and much preferred staying in a nearby suburb compared with the city center. Would recommend this house to anyone. Thanks again Ben and family
Jun 27, 2019“It was the best of times it was the worst of times”. Best- the House was superb, beautifully furnished in a good location. Worst- 1. The door lock broke and we got trapped inside the house for almost two hours on our first morning. Which was harrowing with small children and no food. 2. The host could not be contacted when we had trouble with Check in. Leaving us standing on the door step with young children at 11pm at night. 3. The renovations next door were quite loud especially with young children sleeping during the day. Overall I think the place is great but we were unlucky with the mishaps.
Jun 27, 2019The host is really helpful, the place itself was disappointing. You feel a bit trapped in there as it's a house that has been cut into 2 flats and this one has no real outlook or access to the outside... other than the path to the front door. If you are basically just sleeping there it probably wouldn't be an issue but if you want somewhere where you can relax in a lounge room, cook a dinner and sit down and enjoy it etc etc this probably won't be what you are after. Really close to the station though, which was great. Nice high ceilings. Just not that comfortable or welcoming.
Jun 27, 2019We had a wonderful time at the Cov, a great place to stay & location was tops. Thanks for everything Joy!
Jun 27, 2019A cosy & neat house
Jun 27, 2019Very comfortable and clean home.
Jun 27, 2019Great space, and location
Jun 27, 2019Ideal location for Marrickville and very convenient for the city train. The Cov is exactly as described, Joy checked regularly that all was well. Hope to be able to stay here again for next Sydney visit
Jun 27, 2019Great location in Marrickville and a very clean and lovely home.
