A lovely apartment with period features in a great spot. The street is really pretty and tree-lined with Victorian houses. Even though it's near a busy highway, it was so quiet inside.
Jean Claude was great and gave very clear instructions for check-in and recommendations for the area. Would have loved to know some history about the building.
Despite not having an oven it had everything we needed to cook and was well equipped and spotless. A much better option than staying in a hotel room. It makes you feel like a local.
North Sydney is a great area to stay in as it’s away from the main hustle and bustle but easy to get into the CBD, as it’s just a few train stops away. It's a short walk up from the station, however Walker St is fairly steep, but you can use Miller St.
It may have just been the time of year/covid but it was extremely quiet in North Sydney as many things were closed. We recommend Rag & Famish hotel, an 1860s pub with good food and a cosy atmosphere. ]Also have a walk down to Wendy’s Secret Garden, a hidden oasis, and the nearby Lavender Bay for a special view of the harbour.
As the building is old and it had rained a lot recently it did have a slight musty/damp smell upon entering but that's part of living in an old building.
Just note that the courtyard is shared and isn't connected to the apartment so you probably won't end up using it. The driveway is very narrow getting in/out but I managed fine. It’s appreciated having parking in Sydney.
