Good communication prior to visit. Host was there to meet us as planned, although the suggested cafe for the meet was very busy so we sat in the gardens outside the apartment which was very pleasant. Host kindly helped us upstairs with one of our suitcases but we were made aware that there was no lift so we were prepared for this. If arriving by train at kings cross don't be put off by the shops and bars in this area - it gets better. An abundance of information about the local area is in the apartment. Apartment is very well located for the trains and getting around Sydney easily.
