Thanks Philip for providing a really nice design house in a convenient location, we do have a great time. The host is nice and always helpful. The location is really close to CBD and any public transportation. Highly recommend to friends who travel to Sydney with a group of people.
Jun 27, 2019Philip welcomed me and my family to his gorgeous house. He showed me around and explained how everything was working, from the dishwasher to tv. He is easy to communicate with and was very helpful if needed. And he's got such a nice home! It was super clean, comfy beds, great showers and it felt like a home but also like a luxury hotel. Each bedroom has its own shower and toilet, perfect for a group traveling together. Its located in one of the coolest areas of Sydney, just a short walk to Darlinghurst and Surry Hills vibrant cafès, restaurants and shops. Even a short walk to public transport. This is a great place to stay and I would loved to have a home like this! Cheers!
Jun 27, 2019Loved the place! Amazing location! Had a lovely time here, and Philip was a great host.
Jun 27, 2019Philip was a great host- good communication from the start and very welcoming on arrival. Great house in an ideal location for restaurants, bars, walking into the city and public transport. Perfect for city break. Thanks Philip.
Jun 27, 2019Location is absolutely perfect:) I really enjoyed to stay here. Specially I loved the sparkling water tab:D Philip is very helpful! I recommend here to everyone:) thanks Philip!!
Jun 27, 2019Fab very easy to deal with the house was great fab location and well equipped spotless clean
Jun 27, 2019Had a wonderful stay at Philip's place in Darlinghurst. The place was very clean, beds were extremely comfortable and it was a Perfect location for anything you want to do in the city. All very close to wonderful bars and restaurants. Be warned though, there are many stairs! Very much recommended as long as you're fit!
Jun 27, 2019Beautiful townhouse located in the quieter and residential side of Darlinghurst, with walking distance to many resources and tourist destinations. We were wowed the moment we walked in the stylish and space-savvy apartment, and welcomed warmly by Philip's very kind friends, Trevor and Sally, who also kindly bid us farewell. The apartment were well equipped, with everything you need to feel at home. As there was six of us staying here, the bonus were the three showers and bathrooms. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Philip's apartment.
Jun 27, 2019As Phillip was out of town, his friends, Sally and Trevor hosted us during our stay. And they will fantastic! Upon arriving at the house, they showed us every single room and where certain appliances are. The house was just a 5 minutes walk to the Museum Station and maybe 3, to the bus stop on Oxford Street. It was only a few minutes walk to the 'Cafe Street' aka Crown Street and maybe 15-20 minutes walk to Haymarket. Our group truly enjoyed ourselves in the house, the filtered water hose was a huge plus!
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic pace. Our favorite piece was the ducky shower in the top floor. Very stylish. Amazing location!
Jun 27, 2019Philip was out of town, his friend Tate was our host during our stay, he was very welcoming and helpful.
Jun 27, 2019Philip was out of town, but his friend Tat welcomed when we arrived. A very quaint, tastefully done up house, centrally located, yet in a quiet neighborhood in Darlinghurst. The rooms were all very comfortably setup, and house was well equipped with pretty much everything one would need on a vacation. What we absolutely loved was the continence of getting around, with both the bus & train stations located nearby, and walking distance to the Parks, Opera House, and tons of cafes and restaurants to choose from. A great holiday home. Thanks Philip. Cheers.
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay at Philip's house. His communication was great, and he was easy to get along with. We felt very welcome. The apartment is beautiful & is in a fabulous, easily accessible and central location. We highly recommend Philip's apartment.
Jun 27, 2019We arrive late (after 8pm) Philip was there to meet us and go over the home. You talk about Location it was the best location, walking to everything was right. The home was clean and ready for us. If we needed anything or questions Philip was just a phone call away and willing to help. Thanks Philip if we come back to Sydney I would love to stay at your place again.
Jun 27, 2019Philip was there to meet us. Any problem we only had to call him. He even brought us a Nepspreso. The house was clean and the beds were super comfortable. Perfect location. Thanks Philip! Ana
Jun 27, 2019House was exactly what we were after, perfect for a group of friends clean & great location
Jun 27, 2019The house was fabulous and Philip made us feel very welcome.
Jun 27, 2019Philip's warm, cosy yet modern home is exactly as pictured and described. It definitely is in an ideal location, close to everything a visitor to Sydney would need or want to do. All the beds were very comfortable and Philip's home was very well equipped. Philip welcomed us when we arrived and happily explained how things operated. Thankyou so much Philip for opening your fabulous home to us, and making our stay so pleasurable. Our family loved staying there and would have no hesitation in recommending to family and friends.
Jun 27, 2019The accommodation was clean and tidy. Close to transport and walking distance. Close to shops.
Jun 27, 2019Philip is an informative good host. He has done a great job restoring this 1840 house. Great location. Real nice being in a house and not in a hotel room. Thank you Phil for helping to make our stay in Sydney a wonderful event.
Jun 27, 2019Was a great stay and the host made it all very smooth and easy
Jun 27, 2019Philip was very flexible about check-in and check-out arrangements. He could not have been more accommodating & friendly. The property was great although the stairs would be an issue for children and anyone with mobility problems. A fantastic location with all the sights & great shopping easily accessible on foot. We found the train link direct from the airport & nearby Museum station an added advantage. Would stay here again & recommend to anyone staying in Sydney. So great to be able to get a load of washing done before moving on as well!
Jun 27, 2019By meeting us at the house and showing us around.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent base to explore Sydney and surrounding areas.
Jun 27, 2019Everything was great. Great location. Great place. Would highly recommend it.
Jun 27, 2019Location was fantastic. We had a wonderful experience at this airbnb. I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to come to Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019This is a great house! It is so convenient! Tat greeted us and helped us figure out the neighborhood. The home has three bedrooms and had the most comfortable beds. The kitchen is wonderful and the outdoor space is lovely. Each bedroom is on a separate floor and the stair case is steep but each bedroom has its own bathroom and Philip has done a remarkable job in updating the house. It is very modern and comfortable.
Jun 27, 2019A great house for seeing Sydney. 5 minutes from the nearest train station or bus stop and 10-20 minute walk to the shops and restaurants. House was fantastic, renovated recently to a very high standard, equipped with everything you need. Perfect for 2-3 couples as there are four floors. One floor is the living area and the other three floors has one bedroom and a bathroom on each.
Jun 27, 2019Great place in a great location. I would recommend this property to all!
Jun 27, 2019Our stay in Philip's house was excellent. We were welcomed by Oliver who was very responsive to every request we subsequently had. The location is great, just 5 mins walk from Hyde Park and the CBD. The house is very cool, with multiple levels and is well equipped. Would definitely stay again if in Sydney with the family.
Jun 27, 2019Perfect place!!! +great house +top equipment and furniture +super comfi beds +great location +sparkling water tap + super fast communication +washing powder and everything you need is available for free All in all we enjoyed our stay very much and I will definitely recommend your place. When we come back to Sydney I will definitely book it again.
Jun 27, 2019We had no problems finding our beautiful well appointed house we were given plenty tips from our frienly host Ollie I would recommend this very central home to anyone keenfor a Sydney city break, the cafe next door do great breakfasts and the staff are very friendly. We will definitely be back.
Jun 27, 2019Loved this place! For all it's character, space, location. Everything we wanted was close by and easily accessed by foot or public transport right at the door. Such a groovy space. Looks like a great team that run it, they were all so easy to communicate with.
Jun 27, 2019perfect location and communication; nice house; highly recommend to stay hier.
Jun 27, 2019Secluded place but right in the city. Nice place to stay. Stairs were hard to go up and down, but manageable.
Jun 27, 2019Very nice house with perfect location (walking distance to Hide Park, museum, Botanic garden, opera house, shopping street, Darling harbour, China town, etc.) We enjoyed walking around very much. Thanks very to Oli for the wonderful hosting. He's very quick and efficient for communication and very supportive with our requests. It made us a pleasant holiday. If you want a convenient and central location, modern house with full equipment, and a nice host, that's it!
Jun 27, 2019Great place. Booked it for my family, 5 adults, including elders. They loved it, very comfortable. One of the sinks was a little clogged, but no biggie. They loved the stay and would recommend! Very comfortable, lots of space, central location, and free street parking too.
Jun 27, 2019What an amazing location. We walked everywhere: Circular Quay, Sydney Opera House, Darling Harbour, Haymarket, Central Station, Hyde Park etc. Lovely walks no matter where we went! Darlinghurst is nice in itself. We knew nothing about Sydney but quickly found our bearings. The house is beautiful, has everything we needed and we felt entirely at home. Thank you Philip and Oi. We absolutely loved our stay!!
Jun 27, 2019House is well situated in a "Soho" type fashionable area of the city - with easy access to great restaurants, Hyde Park and other areas of interest. House has been renovated with high end appliances and excellent showers - we only used two floors but note that there are stairs leading to both upstairs and downstairs bedrooms. Beds are very comfortable and there's a lovely small terrace off the kitchen.There's a parking garage space available; directions just need to be clearer.
Jun 27, 2019I don't think the description for this place does justice to the incredible location or quality of this home. SO central. Beautiful inside and out. Well equipped and comfortable. Fantastic hosts. The two mums that went on our trip were a little concerned that the stairs aren't overly child friendly (narrow and steep), but luckily for this fact, we'd left our children at home. Parking was a breeze! I might never stay anywhere else when travelling to Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019Lovely place brilliant location. Really enjoyed our stay.
Jun 27, 2019Amazing location. On a quiet one way street so it's not too loud, but also just a quick walk to downtown. Having a parking spot is key, too. It's a beautiful place! We would definitely stay here again.
Jun 27, 2019Really is a great location & perfect for families, especially with older kids, would highly recommend
Jun 27, 2019A cozy, clean, convenient place. The decorations are very nice and the kitchen is well equipped. The host is very nice and helpful. Highly recommended to stay.
Jun 27, 2019地段非常好,闹中取静,去主要景点都是步行的距离,距离机场十五分钟地铁｡房子装修得很有品味,电器厨卫品质非常高｡唯一的缺点是卫生间有点小通风不够好,没办法,老房子的通病｡由于我们来得晚走得早,没能见到Chris,有点遗憾,但是入住和退房他都安排妥当,非常感谢!
Jun 27, 2019Great
Jun 27, 2019Amazing house, it has everything you need and a great location.
Jun 27, 2019The host canceled this reservation 232 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
Jun 27, 2019A very nice house central in Sydney!
Jun 27, 2019Good location and facility! Need some improvement
Jun 27, 2019Wonderful house and amazing stay!
Jun 27, 2019Very nice flat a stone's throw for Hyde Park, close to subway, food market, and the hip bars and restaurants of Surry Hills. It is a small flat but the way it was cleverly designed makes it look spacious and luminous, with a nice living room, a well-equipped open kitchen and a small outdoor area. There are three very comfortable bedrooms each with own shower room, one on ground floor, and two on upper floors. I truly enjoyed my stay and definitely recommend this place to anyone.
Jun 27, 2019What a fabulous space which Philip offers. The place is simply divine; so well laded out with quality furniture, bedding and fittings. I cannot speak highly enough of the place. To complement the apartment is its location on the edge of the wonderful Hyde Park. The place ticks every box and I cannot recommend it highly enough. From the first communications with Philip till our checkout, this was a first class experience. Thanks to Philip for allowing me the privilege of sharing this great piece of Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019These guys were amazing and the house was amazing. There was nothing we did not need that was there. It was close to the city, and the house was bright modern and perfectly equipped. Have already recommended to others and would stay again
Jun 27, 2019Nice apartment in a great location. Stairs are a bit tricky as place on 4 levels. Very good value though
Jun 27, 2019We loved staying in Phillips house. More than enough room for a family of 5. Fantastic central location to some of the best areas of Sydney. The house was very clean and had everything we needed.
Jun 27, 2019location is absolutely great! walking distance to city centre and chinatown public transport is less than 5 mins away. Phillip is a wonderful host, he will response to your message quickly. Will definitely come back the next time Im in sydney
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic place to stay. Central location close to restaurants and easy walk to Circular Quay. Very clean and comfortable. Great value. Accommodation great for 5 people including 3 teenage sons. Would definitely stay again. Thanks Phillip and Chris.
Jun 27, 2019Great place to stay to explore Sydney. Space was perfect for us as we had elderly children but stairs are steep for young children. Communication with host was excellent and we would highly recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Absoutely loved it ... loved it that much I'm booking it again. So close to everything and a beautiful home to nestle in and be away from the hustle and bustle .. I honestly didn't need to use my car at all cause everything is so close. And anything I wasn't sure about they helped me with right away. And make sure you check out the gorgeous coffee shop on the corner . Yummiest Italian food and nicest guys who own it .
Jun 27, 2019Perfect apartment for our group of six! Great location, well appointed and stylish. Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019Great modern place, well located and equipped.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent location. We walked pretty much to everything, all the major sightseeing spots in the city and to Central Station and Circular Quay to catch transportation for day trips out of the city. Home was clean and had all the amenities to make our stay comfortable. Also just really cool in design. So glad we choose this home.
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Interesting place, perfect for three adults and a kid (as we were)
Jun 27, 2019We stayed for 3 nights! The location is simply awesome, close to everything we wanna see! Room space is enough for 6 of us! Very clean and has everything we need! Just to take note of the staircase, luggages not able yo bring up or down to rooms, toilet we only used lvl 2, the other 2 rooms open concept. Haha.. overall nice place to stay at! recommanded!
Jun 27, 2019Great location on the border of Sydney CBD and Surry Hills . Easy to get to via car and train. Kitted out to a good spec and comfortable. Beware for the less mobile: steep internal staircases and low ceiling in attic room.
Jun 27, 2019Excellent logement mais attention, difficile accees aux chambres par des escaliers étroites
Jun 27, 2019Awesome location and fuss free check in and out. Nicely equipped for all your daily needs. Hosts Philip & Chris are always easily contactable. We had a fun time. Highly recommended!!
Jun 27, 2019This place is excellent! We had the best stay, it was so close to everything! Communication with host was great, very comfortable for 6 adults. Would definitely stay again!
Jun 27, 2019Philip has a cozy apartment with wonderful location, close the museum station and those sightseeing spots. My parent had 11 great nights there. I just wanna thanks Philip and Chris for taking care of my parents, they are so friendly and patience and wholeheartedly welcome the Asian guests like us. We really appreciated the welcome bouquet you had sent, they were so adorable and I think I should send you some HK style cookies to taste next time. Thank you so much Philip, we really enjoy our time there.
Jun 27, 2019The home was in a excellent spot to get around Sydney. Hosts were very accommodating, as we had a late flight we were able to leave our bags at the home till we were ready to go to the airport. Be warned regarding the stairs, they were very steep and you needed to watch your footing, especially carrying cases to the rooms. The spare folding mattress was questionable for spending 3 nights on, okay for a child but not for an adult. All in all it was a pleasant place to be while in Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic place to stay! Philip generously allowed me to drop my luggage off before official check in time which was greatly appreciated. I was greeted by Matt who was so friendly and welcoming. The house was immaculate in both presentation and cleanliness. The stairs take a little bit of getting used to but they are very sturdy. Location was convenient for my needs and the neighbour felt safe. Certainly enjoyed my stay and would definitely recommend Philip's place. Thank you!
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic, central location in Darlinghurst and within walking distance to lots of sights. As mentioned by previous reviews, the stairs are very steep but for people without mobility issues it should be no problem. Comfortable beds, stylish fit-out, inventive use of natural light and well-equipped for our long weekend in Sydney. No doors on two of the en suites was not hugely ideal for family/friend stay but we made it work perfectly fine and for couples it likely wouldn't have been an issue. Friendly hosts and easy check-in. Would highly recommend.
Jun 27, 2019Great location, charming house, very helpful host, great amenities. Very small sink in a bathroom, narrow stairs but after day or two get use to it. Will recommend this place to a friends.
Jun 27, 2019This is an amazing place for a family to stay. The hosts were quick with their responses and accommodating to our needs. The area is very cool and is well located to properly experience the Sydney area!
Jun 27, 2019House and location excellent. Across from Hyde Park, 10 mins from botanic gardens and Darling Harbour. My family of 6 had an wonderful time in Sydney. Staying in Philips house was perfect. Had everything we needed and more. Host very attentive. Would highly recommend. xx :)
Jun 27, 2019It's our first time using AirBnb as we wanted our family to experience what it is living like a local in Sydney, as we have lived in Surry Hills for 2 1/2 yrs. We always use hotels and serviced apartments for our holiday trips. The apartment itself is well renovated and the location is great, however there are a couple of misses that we'd like to point out in this review. COMMUNICATION: During our last night, we sent a message to Matthew and asked permission if we can check out at around 12-1pm as we are sending our family to the airport. He replied that we are only allowed to leave our bags in the apartment until 2pm because they need to clean the house. At 9 AM before going to the airport, we neatly placed our belongings including our souvenirs in the living room next to the TV. At 10:19 AM I even gave Matthew a call that we are on our way back to the house from the airport and we will be arriving back before 12 noon. We returned to the apartment on time to pick our belongings. We were in shock to find out that the cleaner/co-host Chris THREW AWAY our souvenir bag in the rubbish bin outside the house!!! The souvenirs are two fragile wax model of our hands from Madame Tussauds which we had made for our 6th wedding anniversary!!! It was kept nicely in a box and a Madame Tussauds souvenir tote bag. We could not comprehend how Chris could mistook it for rubbish! To make it worse, it was raining during that day and the rubbish bin was wet and dirty. This Chris kept making excuses and blamed Matthew that he wasn't informed that we will leave our belongings. However even if he was not informed by Matthew, he still has NO RIGHT to touch the guests' belongings and more so throw it to the rubbish bin. Clearly, communication was not the only issue here but also the lack of common sense. CLEANLINESS: 1.) The basement bedroom has a strong musty odour on the day of arrival and smells like sewage everytime we go back to the apartment after spending the day on tour. They only have a Glen 20 spray which did not mask the odour. 2.) On day of arrival, there is a lock of hair (possibly from the previous guests) in the kitchen trash bin. There are also left over drinks (soft drinks and juices) inside the fridge. 3.) Upon arrival, we strictly followed the No Shoes policy in the house straight away. However, as Matthew was touring us inside...he had his shoes ON while walking around the house which made the floor dirty. 4.) Dusty tables beside the bed and underneath the TV in the basement bedroom. 5.) My brother saw cockroaches in the Attic bedroom on two occasions. 6.) The sheets on the first floor bedroom smelled nice, however, the sheets on the Attic bedroom smelled musty....
Jun 27, 2019Great area and a very cool place!
Jun 27, 2019Great place for a group - six of us fit very comfortably. Very well appointed apartment close to the center of the city. Communication was quick, friendly and very helpful.
Jun 27, 2019Great location in the heart of Sydney, well equipped apartment with very interesting modern design. Matthew was easy to communicate to and very quick to respond. We enjoyed staying there and would be happy stay there again.
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Stairs are a bit steep. I had a hard time with them but I am 61. Also the streaming tv really needed a better router/modem because it was always freezing up. Matthew did try to help but they really need to update that. The bathroom downstairs was a combo toilet and shower in one room. It was very wet after taking a shower. Mostly a good stay though.
Jun 27, 2019As advertised, the location is great! The host is very considerate and flexible to let us check in early so we were able to unload the luggage and start touring the beautiful city right away! Highly recommended!
Jun 27, 2019地理位置非常棒,每一个房间都单独在一层并且拥有独立的卫生间,很适合朋友一起出行｡
Jun 27, 2019It would be hard to find a better location - you are so close to the beautiful streets of Darlinghurst, a short walk to the heart of the city and Circular Quay after that, just 5 minutes to a train station and you’re surrounded by everything you could possibly want. The house is a gorgeous terrace home styled beautifully. Our favourite part was the chilled sparkling water on tap (!!!). Matthew was an excellent host who did everything we could have asked to make our stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Highly recommend!
Jun 27, 2019Recomendo vivamente esta casa, muito bem localizada, muito bem organizada e decorada. O anfitrião muito simpático que facilitou todo o processo de entrada e saída. Obrigado.
Jun 27, 2019Handy spot centrally located. Suit a big group. Can walk everywhere.
Jun 27, 2019We loved our stay with our two teenage sons. Groovy apartment that packs a lot into a small place. Great location and walked to the CBD, Opera House and Botanical Gardens and only a short uber ride to Bondi and Coogee, All in all a great apartment and great host. Thanks for everything
Jun 27, 2019房子位于悉尼市中心,去购物只要走几分钟就到了,去机场有T8二十分钟就可以到达｡建议住两家人比较合适,地下一楼洗澡没有隔间相对会比较潮湿｡房子装修很时尚,设备很全｡住了三个晚上很愉快｡楼梯是真的很陡,要小心慢慢走｡总之是个时尚便利的房子,负一楼很安静,二楼可以听到外面的声音,给大家做个参考｡
Jun 27, 2019Meillä oli erinomainen viikko Sydneyssä. Kohde oli hyvällä sijainnilla ja trendikäs.
Jun 27, 2019Absolutely loved this place! The location can’t be beat. Very nice beds/linens and nice separation of rooms. The air conditioning kept the place comfortable and the spacious living room with the large TV was a great place to hang out. Would highly recommend to anyone. Look forward to returning in the future.
Jun 27, 2019地理位置非常棒,房间设施新,东西全,整洁干净｡
Jul 27, 2019Great location and excellent value
Jun 27, 2019Philip的房子位置很好,就在市中心,市中心的景点基本可以步行到达｡厨房卫生间充足用品齐全,房子装饰品味一流｡唯一的缺点是有个房间在地下,通风稍差,三个房间在三个楼层,楼梯比较狭窄｡
Jun 27, 2019This was a wonderful place to make our temporary home in Sydney. Only downside is we were only able to stay a few nights - wish we could have stayed longer. The location is incredibly convenient to the Sydney museum, airport (short taxi ride or train ride), local eateries and bars, and sightseeing bus stops. Check-in was a breeze, as we were met by Matthew despite having a late arrival. He showed us where everything was located, and was friendly and welcoming. Inside, the apartment is filled with amenities and welcoming touches that made us feel right at home. It's very clean and well-decorated. We would agree with other reviewers that said the stairs are a bit steep and narrow. It was absolutely no problem for us to navigate, but I would not recommend it for the elderly or those with disabilities, as there are no bedrooms on the entry floor. Overall, 5-star place that we would absolutely choose again.
Jun 27, 2019房子非常干净,设施也很齐全｡位置很好,去市区所有的景点都在步行氛围内｡周围吃饭的选择很多,绝对是在悉尼停留的好去处
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Very stylish design.
Jun 27, 2019Stayed here with work colleagues as we all got our own rooms and bathrooms. Would highly recommend as its in a great location, clean and as described. Thanks!
Jun 27, 2019We stayed at Philip's house for 6 nights. We were so impressed with the house and the location. Chris was a wonderful host and made sure we had everything we needed. Everything we needed was within walking distance. Would definitely stay there again. Very happy with our stay!
Jun 27, 2019Located 5 mins from Museum station and very close to the city centre. Ideal if you want to explore the city or neighbouring suburbs Would highly recommend this well presented terrace house, although probably not suited for the elderly as the internal stairs to the first and second floors a quite steep and my mother struggled a little. Overall it is a great house in a great location close transport and bars and restaurants as well as for groceries. Would highly recommend for a stay in Sydney. Leila
Jun 27, 2019The best location. So close to everything that Sydney has to offer!
Jun 27, 2019We stayed here for just under a week and it was a great trip. The location is amazing, such a short walk to the city, and the area is really vibrant. The house is stylishly appointed, and we really appreciated three bathrooms plus a kitchen. The stairs are steep but for my kids it was no bother. The home has been renovated to a high standard. Our communication was fast and quick, and it was a pleasure to stay at Philip's place.
Jun 27, 2019Absolutely fantastic. Couldn't ask for a better location - close to city but fabulous neighbourhood with great cafes and restaurants. Apartment was even better than we expected as with six people having three bathrooms was great. Can't rave enough about this place - a must stay in Sydney.
Jun 27, 2019Unbelievable location. Only one block from Hyde Park and close to all public transportation. The house was modern, clean, and had plenty of space for all six of us. We really appreciated that each bedroom had their own bathroom.
Jun 27, 2019Pros: - amazing location. Next to oxford st and walking distance to almost anywhere you need to be - fully renovated property. - 3 spacious bedrooms easily fit the 6 of us. - great hosts and check in process with easy check in and excellent communication Cons: - wifi. For us was fairly inconsistent and slow in patches of the day despite resetting modem. - tv in main living room has signal issues and unable to watch some free to air channels. - noise. Stayed over a weekend and due to the fact the terrace is close to the street and a stones throw to Oxford st you do get noise. We had a couple of prank knocks over our weekend and so I wouldn’t say it’s ideal for families or those wanting to get on uninterrupted sleep. All in all a great stay despite minor issues. Thanks to the hosts for their hospitality.
Jun 27, 2019Great location and amenities.
Jun 27, 2019Great house, great location, great money for value. Highly recommend.
Jun 27, 2019This is an ideal house for a group of travellers who just want to visit the main tourist attractions of Sydney on foot. The house is newly-renovated to a fashionable one. Very comfortable. As it is on the street, sometimes you can hear noises caused the car. But for those who have no difficulty in sleeping, that is not a problem. Thank you , Philip. We will come back.
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Middle of city. Many choices for dining and entertainment Very comfortable property
Jun 27, 2019Great location, great host!
Jun 27, 2019FIVE STARS! Hosts were great communicators and very responsive. Place is stylish, clean, well appointed and very centrally located. We loved it!
Jul 27, 2019Excellent terrace in a great location, some extra special features which were wonderful, sparkling water on tap! We’ll definitely be back.
Jun 27, 2019Fun-tas-tic! We had a great stay. The house is fully equipped as you would a vacation home and is tastefully done. Comfortable bed linens & mattresses. TV with good sound system. Only wish is to have a speedier broadband internet for the Apple TV as it hangs frequently. Very centrally located. Close to all transportations, restaurants, grocers, drinks, park & CBD. Hosts kept us updated on coming stay. Thanks to Phillip & Matthew.
Jun 27, 2019We loved staying at Philip's place! Highly recommend it! One of the best Airbnb's I've ever stayed at. Great location, great host, great house. The amenities: kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms etc. had everything we needed! If you're into cooking, there was a wide range of condiments too. The gas fire kept us warm in June no worries. The stairs wouldn't be great if you had kids or if you weren't up to navigating a tight spiral staircase.
Jun 27, 2019The location of this place can’t be beat. The main level is very stylish and roomy. Bedrooms require either a walk down a narrow spiral staircase or a walk up some steep stairs. There is no door on the downstairs bathroom. The owner, Philip, is very responsive and accommodating.
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Excellent host. Amazing place to stay!
Jun 27, 2019We had a great stay at Philips place. So nicely decorated, favourite space was the living and kitchen area. We loved that there was a bathroom with each of the bedrooms, even surprisingly a shower in the attic ! Location was great, surrounded by great food and not a far walk to Sydneys CBD. Philip was very accommodating on arrival and offered us a map with suggestions of things he likes to do around the city. Also very quick with responses with whatever we needed. Would definitely stay there again and recommend to anyone looking to stay somewhere great in Sydney :)
Jun 27, 2019This is a great home and a great location. The overall design the house is quite charming. Very comfortable for 6 guests. Philip is a great host, and responds very fast. I highly recommend this house.
Jun 27, 2019If you are looking for a place for five or six people to stay in Sydney, this is the perfect accommodation. Very well furnished, three bedrooms and bath. More than enough room for diner and relax. Fully equiped with special attention at arrival. Perfect location nearby city, bus and train. Also parking for one car available.
Jun 27, 2019We had a wonderful stay at Phillip’s place. My family and I were finishing the last leg of our vacation and Philip’s apartment had all the amenities we needed, i.e. a washing machine and dryer. The location was excellent. We were able to walk to the Sydney opera house, stopping at various attractions along the way. Darlinghurst has many quaint restaurants. We felt close enough to all the action and far enough away from the too-touristy areas.
Jun 27, 2019This terrace was perfect for our party of 3 couples. The location for cafes pubs or shopping in CBD was awesome not to mention how close it was to Blue start group for City 2 surf . If you want to be in a safe location close to the action this is a gem.
Jun 27, 2019Perfect house and location for our family! We could walk everywhere but also very close to train station. It was plenty big enough for 6 adults. Well equipped kitchen and comfortable beds. Highly recommend and we would definitely come back
Jun 27, 2019Really recommended this place. It was a really unexpected experience
Jun 27, 2019Great location. Wonderful basement room. Nice kitchen! Fast and efficient check in. Great “after sales” service. This was the best.
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic central location within easy reach of everything. Amazing communication and flexibility. It’s a real gem with great amenities and a lovely sunny terrace
Jun 27, 2019I sent our developers here for a tech conference and the location was perfect, the house was great with a few interesting quirks that made it a little fun. All in all it was a great experience by all accounts.
Jun 27, 2019Gorgeous house and we had a great stay.
Jun 27, 2019Philip的房子非常棒!位置绝佳,可以步行到大多数景点,附近还有IGA超市,方便买东西｡房子里有各种生活用品,厨具,甚至煮饭的锅,我们很惊喜!Philip是个超级好的房东,非常大方和贴心,都能第一时间回复我们,帮我们解决问题｡希望下次有机会再来悉尼,再次入住!
Jun 27, 2019Excellent property! We loved how central it was. Perfect for a family getaway. Can’t wait to come back! Matt and Philip are fantastic hosts
Jun 27, 2019We have just had a fabulous few days in Darlinghurst. Philip's place was amazing - so well thought out. Very very cool and stylish. Fabulous location!
Jun 27, 2019Great location, quick and easy communication.
Jun 27, 2019Great location and comfortable and clean. Everything you would want for 2 couples or family. Good kitchen facilities and loved the fact that here was ice in the freezer. Host made us very welcome and looked after us well.
Jun 27, 2019It's a given that the location was the best part about it. It was very clean and Philip was very attentive and explained everything for us in person which was a nice touch. The downstairs "wine cellar" was a bit scary at first, but it made things interesting. The second bedroom was perfect in the sense that it had a good mix of a specious bedroom and best bathroom of the house. The top floor bedroom's bathroom was very tight and the downstairs bathroom seemed to get soaked everywhere when you showered. Overall, it was a very neat place to stay. It was a lot of fun to hang out at the house. Somewhere you can feel relaxed and really feel "at home."
Jun 27, 2019Great location, we were able to walk to the city such as the harbour bridge, the Sydney opera house etc…. The home was clean and had all the amenities you may need. The space is just enough for the 6 of us, although the stairs going up and down are little tight, but we love the character of this house. Parking spot is a bonus, since it is impossible to find parking around the city. Great communication with Philip, our flight was cancelled and scheduled 3 hours later than expected, Philip was very accommodating with our check in time. Philip provided us with a quick tour of his place, oriented us to his neighbourhood, and recommended restaurants to check our while in Sydney. I would recommend Philips house to my family and friends.
Jun 27, 2019Philip's place was close to everything...we did not need a car to see Sydney. He made the most of all available space and the place felt bigger then it actually was. Although we managed, I could see some people having trouble with getting luggage up the stairs especially if they are in the top (Website hidden by Airbnb) is not for tall or unfit people. That being said, 6 of us had a great stay there and I would recommend Philip's place.
Jun 27, 2019Everything was fantastic, great communication and very helpful. Would recommend
Jun 27, 2019This place exceeded our expectation and we are so happy we chose this place to stay. Everything was easy to use and we were amazed at the great features in your home. Thank you so much!
Jun 27, 2019Great style, great location, excellent host
Jun 27, 2019My friends and I loved this place so much, this was our second time staying! An absolutely beautiful city home in a location in Sydney that can’t be beat. (If you stay, take a look at the awesome before & after photos hanging in the living room to see what a wonderful job was done remodeling this residence.) The layout of the house (each bedroom+bathroom on its own floor) offers a unique private feel for each guest, which is especially great when traveling with a group. Philip was also gracious, responsive, and accommodating. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay yet again!
Jun 27, 2019Philip's place is very centrally located and within walking distance of the CBD, and Paddington and Surrey Hills neighbourhoods. Combine that with very close train and bus access and you have a near perfect location for visiting Sydney and all its sights, shopping and culture.
Jun 27, 2019Outstanding 3 bed townhouse in the heart of the action in Darlinghurst. Philips house is simply brilliant. Super cool with everything you would ever need for a great stay. 5 stars for sure!
Jun 27, 2019An excellent space in a excellent location. Everything you need at house and Philip went above and beyond with his assistance. Couldn’t be better.
Jun 27, 2019This apartment is in a perfect location for exploring Sydney. The place is stylish, decently quiet for the busy location (as mentioned in other reviews), and well equipped. The kitchen was very functional and supermarkets are within a few minutes walk.
Jun 27, 2019great location and nice apartment!
Jun 27, 2019Fantastic location with everything you need for a home away from home. We walked everywhere. 15-20 min Uber from airport. Philip was waiting for us and easy to reach if needed. Would go back in a heartbeat
Jun 27, 2019Great location and cool house
Jun 27, 2019This place is amazing. Perfect location and great modern facilities. Phillip is a great host, quick response and friendly. Would stay here again for sure.
Jun 27, 2019Stunning, unique place at a great location close to everything. However, there are quirks that may mean it is not suitable for every group. For 2-3* couples it is a nice stay, and groups of friends should consider the review before they make up their mind. The use of space is stunning and creative, so, as long as the below is ok for you – I would definitely recommend the place. A little more detail in the description would help match expectations. For example, the top bedroom size is better for a close couple or one single - as it is very small and you can look straight at the toilet, which also has no door. The downstairs bedroom is also more suited to couples, given there is no toilet door on its ensuite either. There doesn't appear to be any extra space to adequately fit the spare mattresses offered, so we would recommend no more than five guests or three couples (if the third couple can squeeze into the top level). Aircon was not available in the downstairs bedroom. There was no hanging space in the middle-floor room as the cupboard was locked. The stairs are very narrow and need to be navigated slowly & with feet sideways to avoid falls. We had a small hiccup getting access to the carpark at check-in, which I assume was a one-off.
Jun 27, 2019非常好的房东 在门口迎接我们 介绍了房子的所有功能 用品 房子简直就是一个小别墅 一层厨房 二三层 地下一层各有一个房间和一个卫生间
Jun 27, 2019位置很棒｡厨房设施齐全｡房东非常好,给我们很多建议和帮助｡由于晚上的飞机,还主动帮我们寄存行李,非常贴心的体验｡感谢~
Jun 27, 2019Phillip’s place is beautiful and in the perfect location. It is walking distance to bus and train stations. It location near the grocery store and bottle store. This place is perfect for couples or a group of friends. We enjoyed cooking a couple of nights and a few night lounging on the large couch and watching local tv shows. If you don’t mind a few stairs... this is the place to stay.
Jun 27, 2019We had a fantastic stay for 3 people. Philip was great to deal with and always willing to help, and we arrived to a charming, clean property in a perfect location close to Oxford street, Hyde park and the CBD. Would highly recommend Philip and his property for small groups looking for a unique stay in a prime position.
