This is the perfect Sydney base. The apartment itself is modern, clean, and well-furnished in a terraced, character house. It even has a balcony overlooking the ever-buzzing Crown Street. But it's quiet too, as the bedroom is at the back.

The only reason to not give this apartment top marks, in every way, would be because I want it to be available next time I go to Sydney. But, that would be selfish.

If you like cafes, bars/pubs and restaurants, there isn't a better spot. And Jasmine is as good a host as you could possibly hope for. If you want to stay in Surry Hills and you haven't enquired about this place, Do it now.
