I can’t recommend Ray’s place enough! Whether you’re solo in Sydney for work, or a couple staying for a night, weekend or even a week, The Studio is the perfect place to stay. Removed from the main residence, you feel like you’re in your own house, with everything you would need within a few steps. Painless check in process and lights at the door at night makes you feel safe and welcome. The room is stocked with everything you’d need from coffee, tea, cookies, chocolates to a full plate of fresh fruit in the fridge, milk, yogurt and water so you don’t have to rush to the shops for supplies straight away.
The only things I can think of mentioning are for tall people and Uber’s. A literal heads up for people taller than 5’7 or 5’8 when using the bathroom as you may have to duck and when heading to bed, but it’s far from a dealbreaker. Finally, when requesting an Uber, I recommend keeping your journey direction in mind as Abbotford Street is two one way roads that don’t have a spot to U-turn easily. To make it simpler for pick up or drop off, I’d suggest setting your pick up or drop off point on the side of Abbotford Street towards the way you’ll be going or coming from to avoid a fairly confusing U-turn for drivers (at least in my experience).
Regardless, I’ll be back at Ray’s place every time I’m in Sydney! Check in was simple and settling in was even easier. Thanks Ray!
