We had the pleasure of living in this beautiful three level terrace on gorgeous Bourke Street, on the border of Surry Hills and Redfern for 6 months while in Sydney for work. You can walk to the city in half an hour and Circular Quay in 45 minutes, or usually 10 minutes in a cab or Uber. The neighbourhood is buzzing with energy - Crown Street is packed with cafes, shops and drinking holes, and elegant Bourke is lined with stunning terraces and trees and dotted with little restaurants and pubs: both marvellous for strolling along, morning or night. More eating options than we could do justice to in 6 months! There’s a fabulous cafe on the corner and a lovely florist at the front. Great option for our pug, who had lots of dogs to meet out trotting and a little park at the back entrance for her to go to the toilet. The house is so well-appointed, with everything you need for a long stay. The ground floor has an open-plan kitchen and living room flowing onto the private courtyard which doubles as the parking space, the second level has the spacious and quiet master bedroom suite with oodles of storage and a study space, two bathrooms and spare bedroom which looks out onto Bourke Street (which can be a bit noisy on Friday/Saturday nights), and then the third level has the atmospheric attic bedroom, perfect for when guests come to stay (or in our case, a quiet place for our baby girl to sleep). Everything was clean, decorations are tasteful and furnishings are warm, wifi worked well, Netflix is a nice extra, communication with our hosts was always immediate. An ideal option for a long-term stay in Sydney.
