An Honest Review:
Pro's: Perfect Location. If you've never visited Bondi or Sydney before, this is is absolute best location you can stay. The view from Anita's studio is unbeatable. You can see the strip of Bondi from your kitchen table. You can see the entire coast of north bondi from the toilet! The icebergs are right outside your door and the coastal walk starts and ends with you. There is a rooftop as well for tanning and stunning views. I coudln't have asked for better cafe and restaurant options.
Anita herself is quite lovely and went out of her way to show me everything upon arrival.
Cons: There is no Air Conditioning. There are large windows that open on both sides of the room which let air in, but the blinds make a lot of noise and so it is hard to sleep with these open. I stayed during the La Nina storms, and the room was extremely damp, humid, and hot my entire stay. I found it very difficult to sleep. I think the breeze might be nicer in warmer weather, but I imagine it would stay pretty hot. There is a floor fan but if you angle it onto the bed, the blinds are very noisy.
The inbetween:
The bed was comfortable, not notably, but worked just fine for me. I could've used a few more sleeping pillows in replace of the decorative ones, but was was provided did the trick. The sheets were comfy and she provided a top sheet which was lovely.
Noise: I didn't have any trouble with partying noises which seem to be a common complaint in the area. The toilet made a soft noise but it didn't bother me. You can hear the ocean from the room which is soothing and lovely.
Size: I stayed alone and found the space more than enough for one person. Two people would be fine for a short visit ( week or 2)
Privacy: There are surrounding units with windows facing the room. The blinds work just fine, but if you need the windows open to combat the heat, its impossible to keep your privacy. I ended up getting quite comfortable lounging in my underwear for the two neighbor men, who apperared to be lovely young professionals working from home. They didn't appear to be looking in, but there was definitely a great view if they glanced over.
Overall, I'd reccomend this if it is your first time visiting Bondi and if the heat doesn't bother you. Otherwise, I'd look for somewhere with less of a view and more amenities.
