Wonderful time in Sydney!

My two daughters and I had an amazing time in the Darlinghurst house. The house had many fantastic restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance. The location was per feet for all the Sydney sites, whether walking or using public transport. The house accommodations were plentiful and provided everything needed for our one week stay. Claudia was the perfect host - very responsive to all of our questions and provided timely feedback to suggestion requests. I would definitely recommend this rental to anyone looking for a place to stay in Sydney! 5 stars all around!!!

Fabulous location

20-30 minute walk to most attractions from the home- Sydney Opera House, Botanic Gardens, ferries, most museums. Home was clean with pretty flowers and chocolates on arrival. Coffee shops close by in a historic neighborhood. We didn’t use the house much in the day since construction next door but can’t be helped. We would rent again on next visit.

Wonderful week in Sydney

My wife, son and I spent a wonderful week at this lovely property. Claudia was exceptionally nice and very responsive. The house was just as advertised and perfect for our family. The location in Darlinghurst was extremely convenient, on a quiet street, with many restaurants nearby and within walking distance to key areas in Sydney. We highly recommend!

Great Place & Awesome Location

We are Canadians who had a wonderful time in Sydney and loved this super clean funky house. We walked everywhere (Sydney Opera House, Sydney Bridge, Hyde Park, Town Hall, etc) and so many cafes and restaurants nearby. It was great for our 3 boys and Claudia was accommodating (even had plug adapters for Canadians) and genuine. We would love to stay this house again! 💜

Comfortable, modern stay with character!

Everything from start to finish with our stay here was wonderful! The check-in process was a breeze and Claudia was very responsive and welcoming. The property is so tastefully decorated and we could tell that there was a great deal of care put into this listing from the linens and snack/tea bar to the guest binder with interesting historical context of the neighborhood. We loved the location since it was in a quiet neighborhood, but close enough to walk around Sydney. We really enjoyed our stay here and highly recommend for anyone needing a place to stay in the Sydney area!

Lovely Terrace in the heart of old Sydney

Lovely modern 2 bed terrace set in an historic laneway that allows superb easy access to all Sydney CBD and surrounds has to offer. The property is immaculate with everything you need for a great long or short term stay. First class kitchen, bath and laundry. We enjoyed the outdoor terrace area. Claudia was an excellent hostess and very responsive to our queries. We appreciated allowing our indoor Kitty Mishka to also stay and the parking that was arranged for us. The terrace is walking distance to Hyde Park, Woolloomooloo, Botanic gardens, Opera House and even Darling Harbour, Barangaroo and the Harbour Bridge if you brought your walking boots. Stanley St with its fabulous eateries is around the corner with Oxford St, Crown and Bourke a stroll away. Thank you Claudia for providing such a wonderful temporary abode for us :-) I would be very happy to return again.

This is a terrific property- set up with everything you need. The roof terrace was great at night to cool down. The street is very quiet do despite being close to everything Darlinghurst had to offer we felt secluded. Just wonderful thanks Claudia.

Darlinghurst’s Darling of a VRBO

My family and I were blown away by this property. We arrived late in the evening after a yucky day of traveling and were a little wary of the alleyway our Uber dropped us off in! A wariness that disappeared as soon as we stepped inside the amazing house. We loved the history of the place as outlined in the guide. And what Claudia has done with the modernization of the house is inspired. From the colored concrete walls to the marble bathroom to the ultra modern kitchen, you will feel extremely spoiled. The balcony was an amazing bonus, perfect for inhaling your morning coffee or sipping your evening wine. The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family of 4 and the linens were plentiful and top notch. The biggest compliment came from our (typical, nonreactive, why am I even here?) 16 yr old son - “This place is super cool - I could live here!”. Enough said! Location wise Claudia’s place is also well situated to walk, or bus all over the city. We had an amazing 4 days and will definitely book again if we manage to get back to Sydney.

Great place for seeing all that Sydney has to offer

We consulted with folks that had lived in Sydney and they told us this property would be in a really great location to get to everything we would want in Sydney. They weren't kidding! Easy access to everywhere either by train or by bus, and there are a ton of amazing restaurants within a few hundred feet of your front door! The house isn't huge but worked well for our family of four (two teenage boys).
