Location, location, location! The apartment had an awesome view, and it was perfect, as we were there for the lights at Vivid. Everything you need is nearby...train, groceries, restaurants, shops, etc. You can get to downtown Sydney in 10 minutes via the train (the station is only 2 minutes away), and it's super easy. The host, Ken, was very responsive and accommodating. He responded to messages very quickly and also offered to get us set up with all the basics upon arrival. Great for us as a family of four. Much more comfortable and economical than a hotel.
