The layout of the cottage was perfect and the location - with a bus stop 2 minutes away and Coogee beach a 10 minute walk away - was brilliant. Highly recommend this great place.

A great option for staying in Coogee

I needed somewhere to crash after a 24hr flight. I wanted to be close to the beach and the coastal walks and restaurants and cafes. This place was quiet and perfect.

Quiet stay close to Coogee Beach

First I'd like to stay that Jeremy is a great host. He is very responsive and helped us shift our booking dates and responded well to any questions or needs. We found the house quiet and full of character. It was in a great location. - close enough to cafes, supermarket, restaurants and the beach, not to mention the beautiful Coogee to Bondi walk. The upstairs bedroom was very sweet and the downstairs one felt quiet and peaceful. There was everything we needed in the kitchen.The house felt in need of a little maintenance but I'm sure Jeremy will take care of that as he seems like a very considerate owner.

Great Place to Stay in Sydney!

We are so glad we stayed here. Not knowing the area, we lucked out to have been able to see the Coogee Beach area and the beach areas of Randwick in addition to downtown Sydney. The public transport was phenomenal and it was easy to get to/from airport, downtown, and almost anywhere else with the light rail and bus systems. Jeremy was a good host and the house was well appointed with everything you need in the kitchen. Groceries are nearby as well as bottle shops and restaurants. The house itself has a charming cottage style and is nicely tucked away behind landscaping, making it feel like your own private getaway. We feel fortunate to have been able to experience Sydney by staying at Jeremy's VRBO.

Well-located Coogee apartment

I booked this accommodation for my mother- and sister-in-law for their trip to Sydney to visit us from the UK. Location was great - walking distance to beach and shops, though just be mindful that the area is a little hilly. The apartment provided the base that they needed and photos were quite accurate, but they had issues with the cleanliness (kettle was black inside, lipstick marks and grease on glassware, bits of cereal on the floor which had not been vacuumed, and flowers inside were dead). I had to communicate with the host on the day of check-in and he was great to deal with - rapid and thorough. However, the code given for the key box was apparently not correct (the information sent to me displayed an extra digit) which we rectified through guesswork. On a positive note, bedrooms had brand new linens and the entire place had recently been painted. Suggested improvements would be more mirrors for hair and make up, adding an Amazon fire stick to watch Netflix (or even a basic DVD player), and installing a dishwasher to ensure that glassware and crockery are properly cleaned. Overall, a mostly clean and functional, well-located place, but sadly the cleaning service that the owner uses definitely let him down on this occasion.
