Josie's apartment was exactly what I wanted. It was clean, bright, airy, secure, cosy, and comfortable. The location was perfect - so close to all the great parts of Paddington and Darlinghurst. And the little touches, like the warm white lights (I detest cold white lighting), soft towels, comfy bed, Netflix, and the very functional and attractive decor made it feel like home. The balcony was lovely too. Thanks Josie and Fred. I hope to return.
P.S. You can find longer-term street parking if you're patient and prepared to walk. Those strategies worked well for me.
