We stayed at Charlotte's place during our last few days in Sydney before departing back to the States. For a few days, it suited our needs. FYI, there is no elevator so you will have to haul your luggage up one flight of stairs. Also, as noted in other reviews the apartment is located right above bars and restaurants so it can be quite noisy although after about 10:00 it dies down, except for some lingering colorful people who might be hanging around outside. However, once we closed the windows it did not impede on our sleep. The apartment is nicely located to the train and bus stations as well as some good restaurants. For a budget friendly, centrally located stay, Charlotte's Place is good for a few days if you don't mind some noise from the nightlife.
