We love that there were a few board games at the house. The kitchen was equipped with all the necessities. Coffee and pie shop was just a short walk down the road.”

“750 characters giving a good review for arlo stays airbnb in surry hills Absolutely loved our stay at Arlo Stays in Surry Hills! The apartment was spotless, beautifully presented, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location was unbeatable – surrounded by amazing cafés, restaurants, and shops, while still feeling safe and peaceful. It was easy to walk to the CBD, Central Station, and many of Sydney’s best attractions. The hosts were fantastic, providing clear instructions and excellent communication from booking through to check-out. The space was modern, well-maintained, and thoughtfully equipped, making it feel like a home away from home. The bed was incredibly comfortable, and we appreciated all the little touches that made our stay extra enjoyable.”
