What's up guys. We're back and in this video we're coming to you from Sydney.
Australia's most well known city and also known to have one of the highest
costs of living around the world. We spent three days in
Sydney and I've got to tell you from our many trips we've done here before the
cost of transport and accommodation can add up pretty quickly.
In this video we're going to share with you
how we managed to keep our cost down for
transport and accommodation. But still had a very comfortable stay during our
three night stay in Sydney. In fact we ended up staying in a multi-million
dollar house for just $80 per night. We're going to give you a walkthrough of
the amazing place we stayed at soon, but first let's talk about transport. Now you
might be thinking that public transport is going to be your cheapest option, and
this could be true depending on what your plans are. But if you're looking to
explore a few key landmarks such as Sydney Harbour, many of Sydney's
beautiful beaches or the Blue Mountains. The costs are going to add up. For
example just to get out of the airport you're looking at about a seventeen
dollar one-way trip on the train. So for a family of four, public transport is not
going to be your best option. So your best option is going to be to rent a car.
This can also be expensive but we did that research and we found you the best
deal. And that is to go with a Ace Rental cars. Their prices are the cheapest. They
are located in the Sydney Airport complex. And they also have free pick-up
and drop-off from the airport terminal. The staff were really friendly, super
helpful and we were very happy with our car. We paid just $60 per day for our car
and it was great to have that freedom just to go wherever we wanted, when we
wanted during our three days in Sydney.
So now that we've got your transport taken care of, we're going to tell you
the best option for accommodation in Sydney. If you're on a budget you might
be able to find a small hotel room for $100 per night. Or perhaps a bed in a
hostel dorm for 20 to 30 dollars per person per night. But this is definitely
not suitable for a family. Your best budget option is an Airbnb. Airbnb has
many hosts in Sydney willing to share a room in their house at a very reasonable
price. Now you might be thinking that you're not going to get much privacy
renting a room in someone's house. But I can tell you if you find the right
one like we did, you're going to have a private space that is spacious and
secure. Now I'm just going to quickly add here this is another reason you're going
to want to rent a car in Sydney. Because it's very likely the cheaper Airbnb
options are not going to be located near public transport or the city. But do make
sure you check the parking situation before you go ahead with your booking
because parking is expensive in the city. If you've made it this far in the video
I'm sure you want to see this Airbnb we stayed at. I'm going to cut to Elisa who
will give you a walkthrough of our Airbnb. We've left a link in the comments
if you're interested in staying in this particular Airbnb which is located in
East Linfield. We also have a link that will give you a discount if you sign up
and make your first booking on Airbnb. Good morning guys and welcome to Sydney.
As you know we're currently on a stop over to Hawaii. And we're staying at
an Airbnb in the suburb in East Linfield here in Sydney. So let us take you
for a walk through. Just to let you know we did pay $80 per night. However it is
a new listing so if you are wanting to stay in this part of Sydney you need to
get into it now as the prices are likely to go up. So let's go for a walk.
We've got the main entrance right here. However you can enter directly onto your
Airbnb room which is located this way.
Come on in. So as you can see it's nice and spacious
for the four of us. It's got a queen bed and it also has a sofa bed, so you can
have up to three adults in here. Or like us we've got the two of us and the two
children. So plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. There's a TV but
there's no antenna, so you can't actually watch any other local channels.
But they do supply a DVD player and some DVDs down there. Yeah baby. There's
also just a little kitchenette area just with a shink in some dishes. And
there's a dryer but the no washing machine. So you won't be able to do any
washing while your here. And if you followed me through. We've got a nice room. A bathroom
sorry. So the bathrooms got a bathtub and a shower over the bath tub. It's got
great water pressure so you won't have any problems having a nice comfortable
shower in there that's nice and hot. We do love that the space is nice and big
for the four of us. And also there's a living space up there that the owners
don't mind you using as well. So we might show you the kitchen. Should we show them the kitchen?
Yeah let's go upstairs.
Follow me. We've got the stairs that take you up to the living spaces in the house.
And through here we've got the living room and the dining space. So these areas are all
the shared areas. As I mentioned you got the dining room area right here and
the living space right here. And it's just the balcony out there which has got
a beautiful view. Lots of trees, lots of green.
And the owners have made available to you and full fridge. So you've got lots of
storage room for your food. And through here is the kitchen.
So past here it's the owner space so it's not an actual shared space that you
can use. But Javi has become friends with a little boy that lives here and
they've been playing in the playroom all morning. So if you do have kids you will
definitely love that because there's lots of room. There's a nice beautiful
yard just yet here that we're going to show you now. So it's got a pool right out
the back but it's a bit cool at the moment so it's got a cover on it so we
can use it. But still lots of room for the kids to run around and a little play
house and lots of toys. So this is it from us. I hope you enjoy the tour of our
Airbnb in Sydney. If you have any questions as usual pop them below
