We had eight amazing nights in Giacomo and Lyn's house in Balmain East. The house is very spacious (we were a party of four adults), clean and full of everything you could possibly need for a perfect stay. The kitchen, in particular, has every appliance you could wish for. It is only around 15 minutes walk to the bus stop of ferry terminal (although the hills are quite steep) and the walk to the ferry terminal is through a lovely little park by the water. The views from the balcony at the front of the house are to die for, day or night (the night time skyline, especially, is amazing!). If there is no-one staying in the house next door, Giacomo is happy for you to use their roof top garden - great for a pre-dinner drink or a night cap) We were welcomed by Giacomo and Lyn when we arrived and made to feel at home right away. Giacomo took us on a small tour of Balmain, showing us some of the many shops and restaurants (try the Royal Oak for great food and service). They were extremely helpful throughout our stay, though they weren't intrusive but just left us to get on with our holiday unless we needed something, when Giacomo was on hand immediately. He gave us lots of help and tips for getting around Sydney with recommendations for places to visit. Balmain is a great place to stay with boutique shops and lovely restaurants. It has a real vibe to it without being too busy and has everything you need. We've rented a number of properties in Europe, the USA and Australia and this has to be one of the best. If we ever make it back to Sydney, this will be our goto place. If you go, you definitely won't be disappointed.…We had eight amazing nights in Giacomo and Lyn's house in Balmain East.

Giacomo went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable. He met us at the property and walked us thru every room explaining how to operate the awnings and all features of each room. He even supplied us with Opal passes so that we could use the public transportation (ferries, buses, and trains), he asked we give a small fee for this but saved us the hassle of having to get our own passes which require a deposit. Giacomo spent a great deal of time with us explaining the transportation available to us as well as the lay of the land for shopping, dining, location/ times of various terminals. I will be back! Thank you Giacomo.…Giacomo went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable.
