Evan and Carly's place is perfect for a couple wanting to explore the delights of the Balmain peninsula and as a base to explore inner Sydney and beyond. We stayed there 6 nights. Close to shops, numerous cafes and restaurants. We started each day with a walk that gave us needed exercise and a chance to explore all around Balmain and Birchgrove. There are so many hidden gems around the waterfront.Their balcony is huge and was a great space for a couple of visiting little grandchildren to play safely. The balcony got good use due to the stunning weather Sydney put on for us. The apartment has all the mod cons you'd expect. WiFi and TV worked perfectly. There's no air con but the ceiling fans did the job. Their place is on the main street (Darling Street) which is great for access to everything, including transport, but it does come with the traffic noise (especially the diesel buses). Over the days we got used to the traffic noise. Minimal noise from neighbours. We go down to Sydney from Brisbane quite often to visit family and Balmain, and in particular Evan and Carly's place, is our new preferred base.
