this place has an en suite washer and dryer (new and in excellent condition). Such a luxury in the middle of our 4 week trip. It has air conditioning. It is two short blocks to the train stations - on the line from the airport and 3 stops from the Circular Quay stop (syndey opera house, ferries, CBD). There is a small but useful supermarket and a bottle shop on the way from the train station. The rooms are spacious.
Crown street (great grocery stores, wine stores, ethnic restaurants, second hand stores) is 10 minutes away but up a very steep hill. The bedrooms are lofts which overlook the living room, and the sofa bed is small and hard. I have suggested that the host add more kitchen utensils because it has enough plates, glasses, and cutlery, a stove, convection oven, microwave, dishwasher and full sized fridge but it is not really set up for cooking a meal from scratch.
I would gladly stay there again but with less than 5 people. I am guessing that the kitchen tools situation will improve. The location itself is awesome. And I am a sucker for a decent washer/dryer.
