“If you’re looking for a place to stay in Sydney, stop scrolling—this place was fantastic! We were a family of four, and the modern, well-equipped two-bedroom apartment was perfect for us. But the real star was the location. Bondi Beach was literally right across the street! As in, put on your shoes, walk outside, and suddenly you’re at one of the most famous beaches in the world. 🌊 There were several bus stops just minutes away, plus amazing restaurants, bars, and shops all within easy walking distance. It made exploring Sydney incredibly convenient. After a 14-hour flight, our host was kind enough to let us check in early, which was a lifesaver. Otherwise, we would have been four exhausted zombies dragging luggage around Bondi. 😂 The host was incredibly responsive, accommodating, and made everything easy from start to finish. We absolutely loved our stay and would 100% stay here again! If you want a comfortable apartment in an unbeatable Bondi Beach location, this is your place!”

“This review is based on a long term stay. Our family stayed for almost 8 weeks. We had a fantastic stay here in Surry Hills. The bedrooms are large, the kitchen was stocked with pots pans, cutlery etc. The views are amazing. The gym, pool and sauna were fantastic. The apartment is extremely quiet. If you are using public transport buses, trams etc are walking distance. ARLO was fantastic hosts. We absolutely loved our stay here. I appreciate things like extra towels, plenty of dishwasher pods, coffee pods etc and ARLO provided without me having to ask. This is a great long stay apartment.”

“We loved our stay here! The view was beautiful looking out onto the ocean. Upstairs was a great space for our kids to play ping pong and watch tv. 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.”
