This place was phenomenal for our family stay, with many bedrooms as well as multiple spaces to mingle.
The kitchen leading out to the outdoor garden was a particular highlight.
Excellent location with easy access to downtown area, King’s Cross and Double Bay. Plenty of nearby The house has character and personality, with some rustic elements. Ideal for a family or group stay. Plenty of good options for eating and drinking nearby—the Rustic Rabbit is a favorite.

Thanks Ian for the way you left our house and we would recommend you to any other host. We liked your comment about its sole as we think so too.! We hope to see you again one day. Thanks Trevor
The house was beautiful in a lively and interesting area. it was really well equipped and would be perfect for anyone wanting to cook at home. Trevor was a fantastic host. really good communication and attentive. he was really helpful and informative throughout the process.
This large, beautifully furnished, well-equipped comfortable house in Darlinghurst was ideal for a family holiday, being within walking distance of everything Sydney has to offer. Set out over three floors, our 12-year old was delighted with her room at the top that had a balcony and skylights with views over the city. We definately want to stay there again.
From start to finish we had a great weekend. The house is elegant and everything you could possibly need was on hand. Thank you to our hosts for providing such luxury accommodation a walk away from the harbour, the gardens and the magnificent tower where we enjoyed a fabulous birthday dinner.

We are glad you enjoyed our house and our area. You are welcome back anytime. Thanks Trevor
Great location and everything you need in the home.
This home was a great stay for our group of 6. Great were able to walk to alot of different places and enjoyed just relaxing at the house a bit. It was easy to uber or walk to the hop on hop off bus. The only heads up would be for those who don't do well with stairs.
We were in Sydney for our daughters wedding sharing the house with family. Our daughter got dressed there for her big day. The house is beautiful, very comfortable and generously equipped. Good quality bed linen and towels. Will stay again.

Lyn was a delight to deal with and looked after our house as it was her own. We would welcome Lyn and her guests back anytime.
This home is absolutely beautiful - with great indoor and outdoor space, easy walk to restaurants and intriguing designer touches throughout. We stayed with a group of four adults, all flying to different international locations and Trevor was generous and accommodating with all of our schedules. Much appreciated and highly recommended.
Perfect Accommodation for a Shared Family Occassion
We rented Trevor’s property for 6 adults + 2 children as part of a family get together. The property was beautifully appointed, and in a fantastic location. Communication with Trevor was easy, with any of our questions answered. A range of small touches made the time there all the lovelier. Made for a wonderful long weekend away. I hope we are able to stay again!

Alicia left our place tidy, communicated promptly and we would be happy to have her stay again. Thank you Alicia
This home was great for our adult family's week long stay. Great local pubs and markets - very walkable and central to everything. Staying in is a great option with a well-stocked kitchen. This century old home is quirky and wonky in a delightful way (fountain and bbq aside). Trevor was a very helpful and communicative host.
Fabulous host, very helpful and great comms. Lovely old house in a great location to access Sydney. A bit leaky in the rain, and we were unlucky to experience very poor weather, but didnt dampen our experience. A lack of clothing space in 2 bedrooms, but otherwise a great house.
Trevor was responsive and very helpful answering all our questions. The location was in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to grocery, restaurants and pubs. Even took a longer walk through the botanical gardens to the opera house. Short uber away from ever place we wanted to go.

Victor and his guests treated our house like it was their own. Place was tidy when they left and always communicated well. I would recommend Victor to other hosts anytime.
We had an amazing stay at Trevor’s home over the Christmas holiday. The home was probably the most well equipped VRBO we have ever stayed in. Trevor was so kind to have a Christmas tree for our family and even left a present! So kind! You will love this home. So convenient and beautifully furnished. Thanks again Trevor for such great holiday!
From the second we opened the door, we were in love! This house is stunning and perfect for us!
I will only suggest in your information booklet that you add parking options. Once we found somewhere, it was easy, it was just the finding somewhere.
We loved everything about it-THANK YOU!!
We loved this home. So interesting and charming in a lovely neighborhood. Many restaurants and sites within walking distance and a quick Uber to the Sydney harbor. Trevor was very quick to respond to my texts and offered us early checkin and late checkout which sadly we weren’t able to take advantage of. Terrific host!
8 ladies in their 50's stay here for a 4 day long weekend. The house is beautiful and in an amazing location. Seamlessly got to the house via train and bus from the airport and walked to most landmarks etc. If we did get tired of walking or just wanted to make the most of lounging at the house Ubers and taxi's were easy to find.Trevor was accommodating and amazing with communication. I recommend 100% for anyone to stay here
