We were so glad we chose Max's apartment for our 12 day stay in Sydney. The apartment was comfortable (great bed!) and the building has lots of character. The apartment is not big, but has plenty of room and facilities for our needs. We spent a lot of time on the amazing roof garden, with its beautiful pool and spectacular views in all directions, particularly the view of the Opera House and Harbor Bridge.

Some Australians we met on the cruise to Sydney warned us we would be in a dodgy neighborhood, but nothing could be further from the truth. The building is surrounded by charming coffee shops, restaurants and handy and interesting shops of all sorts. There's even an art gallery specializing in aboriginal art right in the building.

The wild nightlife part of Kings Cross is limited to a short strip immediately around the station, and it is surrounded by downright swank areas. During the day it's pretty tame.

The neighborhood is very central, with easy access by bus and metro to all areas of Sydney. Much of the central area of the city is within walking distance.

Communications with Max were great. Helpful and responsive, and flexible around check in/out arrangements.

Highly recommended.
