We were met at the apartment and given clear and comprehensive information about the apartment and also of local amenities. The fridge was stocked with the essentials - bacon, eggs bread, milk and ice creams! A lovely touch. The apartment was very clean, had plenty of towels etc . We were able to cook meals in the evenings as the kitchen was well equipped. Overall it exceeded our expectations. It was perfect! The location of the apartment is superb, a short walk through the Botanical gardens into the heart of the city - there is a shorter way but we preferred the gardens. A local shop with the basics, bars and restaurants within a stones throw. We did not use the pool facilities as we were too busy out and about , but the apartment building was very well presented so I presume the pool would have been to. I would recommend this apartment for anyone wanting to spend time in Sydney, close to amenities in a lovely area of the city. I would recommend getting an Opal card, for sale at the local shop, this gives excellent access to all public transport, we use Kings Cross station (10 minute walk) to get to Bondi and the Blue Mountains, we used the ferry to get to Manly and the Zoo, we also went to the Olympic park to watch Big Bash Cricket, the cost of transport is very reasonable , and frequent. We spent an unforgettable Christmas and New Year in Sydney and would return again.
