The location is VERY walkable to all major destinations.....~10 min to train station, ~5/10 min to Barangaroo/Darling Harbour/The Rocks/Circular Quay, and ~15 min to Opera House/Botanical Gardens.
Good amenities included a washer/dryer, coffee machine, major kitchen appliances, plenty of towels and closet space, and the host was very responsive and super kind to leave a small gift when knowing it was my birthday!
The only downside, which is both temporary and something the host has no control over, is the construction across the street.
It. Is. Awful.
I've traveled frequently to large cities (NYC/Boston/LA/London/etc) and am VERY accustomed to city noise and can sleep through just about anything. But the construction here started between 6am and 7am every morning except for Sunday, and went well into the evening every night (and even started again at 10pm on Sunday night!)
While the host graciously left earplugs, the construction noise is still extremely prevalent and distracting; unfortunately until that is completed (at least at this stage of the ground breaking), it is very difficult to relax. 😕
