I was a bit nervous after reading the reviews, but actually, the place is great, and a bargain for Sydney. I wasn’t bothered by any of the noise issues other reviewers complained of. The room is actually quite large, with high ceilings that keep the place cool in summer (the ceiling fan also helps.) The wifi was a bit hit and miss the last couple days of my stay, but was super fast and reliable the rest of the time (and I stayed for two weeks.) In any case, highly recommended — it’s really a steal for Sydney.
