The sweetest host family I have ever had! They, including Sabrina's parents were very welcoming, kind, supportive and considerate with respecting personal space. I always enjoyed conversation with them. Although Andre and Sabrina were busy on their own lives, they genuinely asked if I need a ride. He came to the airport for me to pick up on the new years in the morning. Also Sabrina drove me down to the station many times including the day to leave.
A bus stop for Hurstville station is located 1 min away from their house and the buses(M91/943) come almost every 10-20 mins. T4 from Hurstville station takes directly up to Sydney CBD (Circle Quay) or down to Cronulla (Cronulla Beach). Just in front of their house, there is a huge park with a playground, fields, skateboard area, basketball courts where you see all healthy and motivational humans ;) That all being said, it is a very safe and comfortable area. Only one thing I personally wished was a shower pressure. Overall, the host family, location and safety are guaranteed superb. I would like to thank them again for letting me stay and having a great time with them.July 2024
Andre is a really welcoming and caring host: he was available for our late arrival, and also tobring us to the airport for the flight back home. The room was clean and tidy, with a little wardrobe, a little desk and the bed. Would definitely recommend staying at his place!

Cara Gioia,
Thank you so much for your kind words and the 5-star review! It was a pleasure to host you, and I'm glad to hear that you found the room clean and comfortable. I'm happy that I could assist with your late arrival and your journey back to the airport. Your recommendation means a lot to me, and I hope to welcome you back in the future.
Safe travels!
Best regards,
Andre

A very friendly and helpful family. André came pick me up from the station on the first day and dropped me off at the station on the last day. Such loving individuals. And their son is so polite and cute. I highly recommend this beautiful family. The only bad note would be the lack of buses in the evenings. I had to walk about 25 min to the station or walk home on multiple occasions.

Very sweet and very helpful family. I felt very pleased being there.
How do I book?
Contact the host to check their availability and ask them any questions you have about staying with them. Once the host confirms they’re available for your dates, you can complete your booking.
When do I pay?
Once a host confirms they're available, you can go ahead and pay the 15% booking fee (maximum of 250 $£€ for longer term bookings) and a 25% deposit using a choice of payments: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Maestro, Laser, JCB & PayPal. The deposit is collected in advance on behalf of the host to protect against no show or late cancellations (within 7 days of arrival). You then pay your host the balance due on arrival. The 25% deposit payment is made to the host 2 business days after your scheduled arrival date. This deposit payment will only be refunded if you cancel the booking at least 7 full days prior to arrival.
When can I share my contact details?
Host and Guest email address, phone number and home address will be exchanged in a confirmation email sent to both immediately after a booking is completed. It's against our policy for Guests and Hosts to exchange direct contact details via our messaging system.
