Quiet base to explore Sydney

We have a peaceful family home with a large garden, close to Sydney CBD. We are well travelled & enjoy meeting other travellers and as we know Sydney week, we can be useful helping you make the most of your visit to Sydney. Hello! We offer bed and breakfast in our family home, with large garden, in Sydney’s Inner West. There is a queen bedroom with plenty room to take another single bed. We can also provide a cot, high chair & baby bath. There is also the opportunity for separate bedrooms with a second bedroom available. We provide all bed linen, towels and breakfast (cereal/muesli, fresh fruit, toast, fruit juice and tea/coffee). Please let me know your preferences and any dietary issues. Other meals can be arranged at an additional cost. The house has WiFi internet access. The bathroom has a large bath with separate shower and toilet. Everything is in good working order with constant hot water. There is a separate laundry with another toilet & shower. There is also a washing machine and line on which to dry clothes - in Sydney, clothes dry on the line in no time! Our house is a renovated traditional Californian bungalow with polished floorboards, lots of light & a large garden. We are very close to public transport train, bus and light rail. It takes only 20 min by train to Town Hall station right in the CBD. There are great restaurants and cafes in the Inner West (Marrickville, Leichhardt, Petersham, Newtown) and all are close by. NSW Transport Information or City Rail website. We can supply an Opal card which allows all day travel capped at $15 and weekly travel at $60. Getting from the airport... Transport to and from the airport requires a gate pass charge of $13 (one way). Please feel welcome to ask questions you may have about the rooms or the surrounding area. Easy access (train, bus or light rail) into the city gives access to all that Sydney offers - Opera House, Harbour Bridge (Climb or Walk), Centrepoint Tower, ferry to Manly or Taronga Zoo (fabulous Sydney skyline views), beaches, & Sydney’s many galleries & museums. The Rocks area is an older part of Sydney with historic interest and also has a fabulous market, great stop for souvenirs. We are across the road from the golf course which accepts casual players and the riverside offers good walking & cycling paths. The neighbourhood is residential and we are very close to public transport. We are both well travelled, interested in others and enjoy meeting people. This is a very good base for exploring Sydney & surrounds, or for visiting family. Smoking inside the house is not allowed but there is also a beautiful, large garden at the back. Also, please consult us before bringing additional friends to the house. We know Sydney well and can, if you like, help you plan and enjoy your visit. I prefer to reply to people with a profile attached & will give preference to previous Airbnb users with good references and those with good reviews advance in the queue. It's great to have Airbnb travellers who already have recommendations but, if you don't have an Airbnb profile when initially inquiring, please tell us a little about yourself/ves as I do through my profile and the photos of our home. As this is our family home, we are on hand for support. Marrickville is a vibrant multicultural community. Train, bus & light rail are very close and there is on street parking.
