Space
Redfern Street runs eastward from the Redfern railway station and 500m down the road The Buxton House is one of six brick Victorian Terrace houses of two stories. The house is zoned under conservation heritage and if only walls could talk this house would no doubt have some notorious under belly stories to tell. We founded this house neglected, run down and decrepit but saw beauty within its colonial Architraves, Kauri Pine and Red cedar stair case, Sandstone window sills and natural Victorian Charm which led us to our restoration to its former colonial glory. Redfern over the past couple years has seen a revival and is now starting to establish itself with some world class bars and restaurants. Upon arrival we have put together a welcome book containing our favourite recommendations all tested personally first hand.

Neighborhood Overview
Redfern is a real eclectic diverse mix of characters which makes for a fascinating never boring neighborhood. Our journey restoring the Buxton House has allowed us to meet and befriend the local community. Our neighbours have been so friendly and welcoming to our new presence on the street. The Redfern people are down to earth and from my experience very welcoming.

I would definitely recommend this to everyone who still has doubts and is looking through the reviews. There are so many good experiences that I don’t even know where to start. But let’s start with Charles, he is super accommodating and friendly. The communication with Charles is very warm and efficient, and he is also a responsible host who really cares. And the location of the house is very convenient. It’s close to everything I need plus, so many good restaurants and pubs which I don’t really need during weekdays, but if you are a foodie, then......The house itself is clean, tidy and comfortable to stay at. I would say it feels like home, apart from my home is never this clean... All in all, I would come back again if I have the opportunity.
Jun 27, 2019A lovely, obviously newly refurbished apartment in a good location. My boyfriend and I wanted a space close to public transportation and this fit the bill perfectly. Really clean, nicely decorated, fully stocked with the essentials, and a criminally plush bed. The shower is also amazing and the host picks really nice soap! The host Charles was always very friendly and prompt with communication. The unit isn’t large, but for a short term stay and for a couple, it’s more than enough. I would definitely recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Expect a clean, modern and cosy home in a great location!
Jun 27, 2019Excellent facilities, comfort, and location
Jun 27, 2019Great value and very tidy!
Jun 27, 2019Great place, was just as much a pleasure as the first time!
Jun 27, 2019We both had an amazing stay the the Buxton House and really loved the Scandi-styled interior. Very clean and minimalistic! The place itself was cosy in the back of the house - it is an elongated kind of area, so could be quite hard to get things moving around. Nevertheless, we made it around comfortably. Neighborhood is safe, albeit hearing stories about walking at night around Refern. We had no troubles walking back to the apartment at about 11pm. There are lots of coffee and food options opened in the day and Buxton House is really close to Sydney Central with various methods there. Really loved the place and would definitely stay again when we're back in Sydney!
Jun 27, 2019I worried redfern is dangerous. But it is safety.
Jun 27, 2019Nice, clean and cozy studio. Great location- approx 5min walk to bus station and 10 min walk to Redfern train station. Check-in and check- out instruction was clear and simple. Charles was very quick and helpful with messages. We had a wonderful stay! Thank you Charles :)

The apartment is clean, there is everything that you may need, we had a great time and I definitely can recommend this place to all The communication with Charles was good, I received answers to all my questions quickly.
Jun 27, 2019A clean, light and modern apartment within reasonable walking distance of the city centre. A little on the cosy side, but perfectly comfortable!
Jun 27, 2019Close to public transport, shops and resotos, Wollies and more. Best cooking utensils of any place I have stayed. Great host!!

Jul 27, 2019responses quickly and very hospitable
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic location. Redfern and Central station are both an easy walk away. Many good bars and restaurants nearby. Unfortunately the WiFi in flat 3 doesn’t work. Otherwise excellent. Charles is a quick responder to any queries.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice and clean apartment. We enjoyed our stay a lot and can highly recommend this place!
Jun 27, 2019Charles’ place is clean and location is fantastic! Parking on street is available as well, highly recommended for any travelers
Jun 27, 2019Notre séjour de 3 nuits pour 2 amies étaient parfait. Le lit est super confortable, Charles répond rapidement à ses messages et lorsqu'il manquait quelque chose, nous l'avions le jour même. Un bel endroit tranquille et bien situé pour visiter Sydney :) merci encore Charles!
Jun 27, 2019We enjoyed our stay at Charles place in Redfern. Unit is in a great location for both Sydney CBD, Redfern, Surry Hills, Waterloo and access to the Airport. Unit was spotlessly clean throughout and communication from Charles was excellent at all times. Keyless access system works well and provides great security. Although a comfortable stay, the unit is small with no seating area other than 2 small stools in the kitchen, this wasn't a surprise to us as its clearly shown and stated in the listing but could pose problems for longer stays or days where the weather dictates you need to be inside! Would stay again for 1 or 2 nights when in Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019We enjoyed our stay in Buxton house. - Charles was very efficient in replying and accomodating our request of luggage drop off and early check in. - Unit was spotlessly clean, strong shower, good quiet AC and has basic utensils needed in the kitchen. - Location is perfect for going around as it’s approx 3minutes to the closest bus stop and 20mins to central cbd; woolworths is around the corner for your grocery needs; cafes and pubs within the vicinity. - The check in was smooth and secure. Even though the house seems fully booked, we can hardly hear any noise in our unit. It’s also secured as CCTV cameras are around the exterior of the apartment.
Jun 27, 2019The space was so cute! The host was very easy to communicate with and the check-in process was super efficient!
Jun 27, 2019Nice place, super easy check in.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice place and would recommend it to anyone looking a Place to stay at Redfern.
Jun 27, 2019great place, great location!

Jun 27, 2019It's a very nice place and very well situated. Charles allowed us to leave our luggage in the backyard for a couple of hours after our check out. We'd stay there again!
Jun 27, 2019Great Location. Prompt assistance and communication from Charles. Excellent wifi. Quiet accommodations close to all the fun spots. Supermarkets within walking distance. Train station just down the road.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, the host was easy to get in touch with!
Jun 27, 2019Perfect place to discover Sydney. Very clean and comfy.
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful and cozy place. Cafes and restaurants are just nearby. Great place to stay:)
Jun 27, 2019Clean and neat, in a good location close to good coffee and transport into CBD.
Jun 27, 2019We didn’t have a very good stay here unfortunately. The place was tidy we just think the cleaning of the place needed improvement. There were makeup stains and grubby marks on the pillows and doona cover, little spiders on the ceiling throughout the house, hair on the pillows, doona cover and throughout the bathroom on the shower walls and on the toilet. It was very uncomfortable and we were glad we only booked one night. If it was cleaned properly it would have been a great place to stay.
Jun 27, 2019Second time was just as lovely as our first.
