If you're looking for a hipster neighborhood in Sydney, Newtown is definitely it. There were plenty of good food and coffee places near by. There's lots and lots of vintage clothing shops too. Not really my thing but if you're into that then this is a good neighborhood for you. The place was very very clean. The walls are thin so if you're a light sleeper then I would bring ear plugs. Didn't bother me but I thought worth mentioning. Enjoyed my stay here as a solo traveler.
