G'Day from Sydney!
Thanks for coming to check out our listing :)
We have another btw... http://www.airbnb.com/rooms/73639 if this one is unavailable
"Sydney City Home with Harbour Views"; our spare room in the attic.
As we were among the first AirBnB'ers in Sydney (travellers + hosts) we've developed quite an extensive profile based on all the guest questions we've answered. Reading through the description, and the "House Rules" (Next tab across from the "Amenities" tab), you'll find all the important information you need... Feel free to send us a message with any question you have about us, our home, Pyrmont, Sydney, or AirBnB... We'd love to hear from you! :D
Please send us a message & say hello *before* you make your reservation request...It'll help speed things up, and smooth things out... oh, and read the bits about check in & check outs :)
Your room:
Breakfast included:
Your Sydney Home:
Because the house is on three levels, and the stairs are steep, we wouldn't recommend the property for people with any mobility issues or for children.
We also have a little dog (a Pomeranian), so again, not recommended for those with allergies or aversions.
We'll provide you with keys, and there's easy (and secure) access, so you can come and go as you please. We work from home, so there's generally always someone around.
Guest Bathroom (shared):
Pyrmont - An Inner City Village of Sydney:
Pyrmont was once a thriving industrial waterfront / working port area with ship-building, factories and wool-stores. Over the last decade there's been a considerable influx of new residents and commercial / residential development that has transformed the area into a trendy mix of inner city residents and commercial HQs. For example Goo gle has their Sydney office, the "Goo gleplex" just down the road, as is Fairfax Media, NOKIA, and the Seven Network (TV). Media Production houses, boutique cable TV channels, etc.
The UTS campus, the ABC's Ultimo headquarters (Australia's National Broadcaster), the Sydney Convention Centre, and the Sydney Entertainment Centre, are all within walking distance. Sydney University is about 20 minutes walk away (only 10 mins in a cab or bus).
Eat, Drink, and be merry:
Being ex-restauranteurs we'd be more than happy to point you in the right direction for a great meal in Sydney. And there's plenty on tap too. You can't walk more than a block in any direction without walking into the front bar of a local pub, or a wine bar, or a great cafe, or restaurant…
To give you an idea, there's seven of Australia's top restaurants within easy walking distance (Quay, Tetsuya, Est., Bilson's, Rockpool, Becasse, & Guillaume At Bennelong).
And with a full range of cafes and restaurants in between, right through to the cheap & cheerful Harry's Cafe de Wheels (a late night Sydney institution), Noodle King, and all the vibrant offerings of Chinatown there's no end of options... Modern Australian, Persian, Goan, Japanese, Indonesian, Malay, Italian, Indian... All at our door
Must do's in Pyrmont include Pyrama, XXII, Gallon, Hannah's Pies, Blue Eye Dragon, Made in Italy, and 1945
Really close - Sydney CBD & the other inner city villages:
Public transport right at the door - excellent services late into the night (weekends too )
Transport options are great: tram, mono-rail, and buses are all pretty much at the doorstep, and a main Sydney City (Town Hall) & train station is only 10 minutes walk away too. Central Station is 15 - 20 minutes walk (5 mins by bus or tram).
Airports:
The international and Domestic airports are only about 15 - 20 minutes drive away (longer during traffic peaks), again, all easily accessible by public transport too.
We'll send you maps and full details when we confirm your booking.
