Charmerende Surry Hills House på Bourke

1) we were offered 20% discount because work would be done on the roof for 1 (one) day. It actually was all non weekend days (4) of our stay and the noise EXTREMELY loud 2) we read the "instructions" of the house, an overly long booklet. Following these painfully detailed instructions we went to take out the trash bins on Tuesday evening but lo and behold someone unknown to us accessed the house in our absence and took out the bins. While this may sound helpful it felt unsafe to have given someone access to the premises without even a heads up. 3) location was good but given the price I expected better service

Fantastic location, trams are not too intrusive even though they’re just around the corner. The house itself is decorated with rather mid range furniture, but you’re not there to stay in the house. All the amenities are working. For this price it’s a fantastic place to stay.

No problems getting in the house. Needed to do laundry after 5 days on the road in NZ, no laundry soap,so had to go buy some. Kitchen was nice. Bedrooms and beds comfortable. Bathroom ok— shower is small and floor gets wet easily. Living room not that great. Very small, couch uncomfortable. TV worked sometimes. Outdoor terrace in the picture isn’t that great but admittedly it rained a lot. Sat on the front porch a lot on the bench. That was nice. Best thing about the house is its location. Beautiful vibrant yet quiet neighborhood with lots of cafes and restaurants. Close to the trains.

We had six nights in this cute wee house. Great location, right next to light rail, short walk to buses, restaurants, bars, cafes and parks. Bakery three doors away with excellent coffee and food and supermarkets right around the corner. House really comfortable for four people with everything you need including cosy beds, lovely linen, and pantry staples. It is a little noisy given so close to light rail and a car/walking lane that runs right next to the bedrooms, but it is a wonderful location. Suggest ear plugs if you're sensitive to noise because you'll want the windows open in summer. Would happily return.

This was our second stay at Bourke and it is such an amazing place! We’ve been there now winter and summer and would love to stay there every time we’re in Sydney.
