First of the pictures do not do this place justice. What you see is incredible!!! The Sydney Opera House is very close as is the bridge. Close enough that you can see the stars on the Australian flag. Distance to mass transit is ideal. Get an Opal card when arriving at the airport or at any major station as it works for all transit run by NSW such as buses ferries and trains. The ferry is only a 5 minute walk, the train maybe 10 uphill. If you arrive by train if after a long trip. Maybe catch a cab to the residence. Very good restaurants just a short walk. Towards the station actually so if you walk to the apartment you will pass them. Grocery store is near by and well stocked and a smaller store is close as well. Including a store for alcohol, beer and wine. If I could I would give it 6 stars out of 5. Thanks for a great stay and for the pizza help!
