This is the perfect pad for a stay in the beautiful Elizabeth Bay/Potts Point area.
I would say the previous reviewer was perhaps a little harsh with their poor review - yes it is a bit rough round the edges and not as pristine as the photos make out, but it’s not a hole by any means!! I stayed here for 5 weeks during a business trip and had no complaints. Bed is super comfy with fresh white bedding, living area is great with a comfy sofa for TV lounging. You can slide the door to the terrace open most of the way so you get a full panorama of the bay in front of you. Terrace (and the roof) is great for bat watching at sunset!
Gabriel was a fantastic host - replied instantaneously to messages and went out of his way to make sure I had everything I needed for my stay, including being flexible with check in/out times which was very much appreciated.
There is an abundance of brilliant things within walking distance including great yoga studios, an F45 and a boxing gym (if that’s your thing), plus loads and loads of great cafes, bars and restaurants. Kings Cross market a must on Saturdays for great eats, Elizabeth Bay Cafe up the road for the best coffee and breakfasts, and Lizzie Bay Gourmet over the road if you want a lovely home-cooked meal. Oh, and Pat & Sticks ice cream sandwiches (sold in Elizabeth Bay Cellars, also over the road) also a must-eat!
The only minor negative for me was the shower. It is positioned at a comically low level on the wall - I’m 5’5 and had to perform a backbend every morning to wash my hair! So if you’re taller than me, you won’t be able to wash your hair hands free. Great fluffy white towels though! A basic info pack in the apartment would also be helpful to receive on arrival e.g. how to get up to the pool, what you need to operate laundry etc. And it would be a nice touch to hang a couple of pictures on the walls where the screws are (obviously where there used to be pics) to make it a bit more homely.
Overall, I'd highly recommend a stay at Gabriel's place.
