George's hotel apartment is perfectly located to explore Sydney, being within easy walking distance of the shops, sights and public transport. Although the furniture is a bit dated everything is provided for your stay with a compact kitchen, comfy bed, good free WiFi and plenty of hot water.
We were disappointed that the swimming pool, gym and sauna located on the roof, were closed during all of our seven week stay, as major renovations are being carried out. We were not told about this closure prior to arrival and, when queried, George said he had given a discount to compensate. This showed as 'long-term' discount on the Airbnb receipt and nothing in the description advised of the closure.
These amenities are still incorrectly shown as available on the Airbnb listing. Work is due to continue until at least June so be prepared for noise not only from the roof but work being carried out in other flats.
There are, however, two excellent pools in the area, a short walk from the apartment.
On the subject of noise: the apartment is on a major, busy four-way junction and the noise from sirens and vehicles carried on all day, despite the double glazing, and also often went on until late at night particularly on weekends.
The apartment was exceptionally clean on arrival although the windows were absolutely filthy. Even George apologised for them on check-in but said that they were cleaned by the hotel management company. The view of the Sydney skyline, across Hyde Park was stunning but ruined by the dirt you had to peer through, especially if the sun was shining.
For a short stay George's apartment is ideal but when we extended our stay in Sydney we chose to move to a different Airbnb.
