Great location for sightseeing. Nice restaurants, and bars in the surrounding area. It's a very nice walk to opera house or circular quay via the botanic gardens.
The area is lively, if you're looking for someplace super quiet, this is probably not the best choice, but that's what a big city is like. The train is not super-close, but is convenient enough at King's Cross or St. George. The kitchen is small, but nice, we ate out every meal and you probably will also!
We did not meet Geoff in person, but he was very helpful with communication before our arrival and check-in was simple. He leaves several pages of info on the area on the kitchen table, nice hints for restaurants and other services. The description in the listing is accurate.
We are a late 50s couple from the U.S. and enjoyed our stay. Recommended.
