Great location, quiet, and easy access to food - Cole's grocery store and several restaurants are across the street, Domino's Pizza is on the ground floor of the same building. The view of the city at night is beautiful and the apartment has plenty of natural light. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms plus laundry facilities this was a great choice for our family. Zetland is halfway between the airport and downtown Circular Quay area. It seems to be more of a quiet family neighborhood than a bustling nightlife area. This was a good choice for a family vacation, maybe not the best choice if you are looking city night life.
If walking and public transport will be your main method of getting around Sydney it is worth noting that the nearest train station (Green Square) is about 1 kilometer and a 15-20 minute walk away. There are several bus stops within a few blocks of the apartment so riding the bus is easy, but getting to the train is a little work.
