Our home is located in the suburb of Revesby, South of Sydney. It’s just me and my husband in this house so we thought of accepting homestay students or travellers. There are rooms available. One room has double size bed and the other one has queen size bed, two rooms both are twin shared with two single beds. The house is immaculate, it's an open plan area. There's backyard with Alfresco. My husband and I love to play scrabble on our relaxing time. I love to cook while my husband loves gardening.
Hosting or accommodating international students, travellers or working holiday visa holders became our enjoyment as we get to meet a lot of people from different countries in the world, learning a little bit of their languages and their cultures. The hardest and saddest part is when they’re already finished of their studies , when they’re already leaving Sydney and going back to their countries. We get so attached with each other. We started hosting since April of 2018.
I assure you your stay here will be fantastic, comfortable, convenient and enjoyable. Please refer to all the reviews.

It is a lovely experience, the host is pleasant and kind, and everyone is generally very respectful and friendly. The area is lively, near multiple shops, a bus stop, and train station, lovely neighbourhood. A home away from home, highly recommend it to everyone! :))

Overall, I would not recommend staying at the Albert Lodge. However, it may be a good place for those who can afford it financially.
Good Points
The house is big and spacious, with a bathtub and a hairdryer, and the rooms are furnished. Revesby is a safe area. It’s a 10-15 minute walk to the nearest station and supermarkets (Cloes, Woolworths). I was able to meet multinational housemates and hang out with them.Bad Points
The rent was high compared with other share houses in the same area. A light breakfast was included in the contract but was not provided. There were times when guests could not use the kitchen and dining table freely due to the host's convenience. The host didn't clean the shared space (bathroom, toilet, stairs, floor) so I had to clean it. I was offended when the host made a statement comparing the English skills of non-native English-speaking guests. I was also shocked when the host told me which guests she liked and which she didn’t like.Japanese below
総合的にみて、私はAlbert Lodgeでの滞在をお勧めしません。しかし、経済的に余裕のある人には良い場所かもしれません。良かった点
家が大きくて広く、バスタブとヘアドライヤーがあり、部屋は全て家具付きだった。Revesbyは治安の良い地域で、最寄り駅とスーパーまで徒歩10分〜15分ほど。多国籍のハウスメイトと出会うことができた。悪かった点
同じ地域の他のシェアハウスと比べて家賃が高かった。契約上、軽い朝食が含まれているのに提供されなかった。ホストの都合でゲストがキッチンと食卓を自由に使えない時があった。ホストが共有スペース(お風呂場、トイレ、階段、床)を掃除しなかったため、私が掃除をしないといけなかった。ホストが英語を母語としないゲスト同士の英語力を比べる発言があり、気分を害された。またホストが彼女の好きなゲストと嫌いなゲストを私に伝えた時、ショックを受けた。退去する数日前にホストからハート五つのレビューを書いてとお願いされた。過去のゲストがみんな高評価をつけているのは、退去前にホストから半ば強制的に良いレビューを書くように言われたからだと考えられる。Host reply

Menchie is a genuine gem, very kind-hearted, accommodating, helpful, friendly and welcoming. You won’t be disappointed! The place is comfy, furnished with all appliances you need. The house is 10 mins from the train station, shops…It takes you 35 to 50mn to go the city by train. I highly recommend this homestay. More than that, I would call it a real boarding house.

My son, niece and husband stayed at Mrs. Menchie and Mr. Rene's house for 5 months, it's hard to say in a few words 5 months of living there, but what I can say is that they are wonderful people, attentive and always willing to help in every way Aspects The place is pleasant, there are buses, trains and good shops nearby, I recommend everyone to live this experience.
Thanks for everything Mr. Menchie!
yours sincerely

She and he are so kind. And they have helped me a lot. I like Revesby too. It takes for 30〜50minute to city by train.
It's very comfortable and enjoyable.August 2019
I had the pleasure to stay with Menchie & Renee. They made my stay with them extremely enjoyable and treated me like family right from the start.
Menchie was extremely attentive and was always willing to help in any way. I was able to fit right in from the onset and her home is wonderful.
I would highly recommend anyone wanting to stay in Sydney to connect with Menchie.
