We loved the location of this place - an easy bus or train ride to Circular Quay and other tourist attractions, but out of the tourist fray. We especially enjoyed the cute and hip Surrey Hill neighborhood, just a few minutes walk, where there are great little coffee shops, bars, and restaurants. Note that the apartment is farther away from Circular Quay than it appears to be in the listing.
The apartment itself lacks charm, but is quite functional, if small. We managed to prepare a simple dinner in the tiny, closet-sized kitchen and were able to have breakfast (yogurt, fruit, and cereal) in the room. The host was very thoughtful in leaving plenty of shampoo, soap, conditioner, dish soap, tea, coffee, sugar, etc. so we didn't have to buy a lot. The w-fi was very reliable and the bed was quite comfortable. Also, there was ample space for unpacking belongings.
We also enjoyed having the swimming pool - very nice lap pool and indoors so it's possible to swim in all types of weather. Nice place for a short stay in Sydney.
