Hugh's apartment in Potts Point was a real home-away-from-home during our stay in Sydney. It is obviously a well cared for period property and it was well furnished with good quality appliances and really lovely bed linen. Hugh lives across the road and came to meet us when we arrived to show us round the apartment and give us some tips on the area, which really helped us to make the most of our limited time. Nothing beats tips from a local!

The apartment is in a really vibrant area. I think Hugh describes it here as being like Soho in London, and the area around King Cross station really is, but other nearby streets also reminded me of other London areas like quirky Islington and upper crust Notting Hill - there's a lot of diversity packed into those streets!

The apartment also had an amazing view over Sydney's CBD, was a 20 minute walk from circular quay and a 5 minute walk from Kings Cross Station so it was a really good base to explore the rest of the city from.
