The view is amazing, totally worth every penny just for that view!! You don’t actually see the opera house but It’s near to public transport and easy the travel places form so it’s easy to get to the opera house. We did get mosquito bites because we slept with all the windows open (due to no air conditioning) but bug spray was available and with all the windows open it did get a nice breeze through the apartment. The host was wonderful and gave us all the information we needed :)
