We are already very familiar with McMahons Point as we have close friends who live just down the road from Jane's flat. It is a lovely part of Sydney - close to the city and served by regular buses and ferries, also trains from nearby North Sydney Station, but far enough away from the hustle and bustle to feel very peaceful. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, with a choice of larger supermarkets a little further away, all within easy walking distance. Some uphill walking is required, but there is a handy bus stop close by.
The flat is very well equipped and immaculately presented. The leafy views from the balcony are stunning and the Sydney Harbour Bridge frames the Opera House in the spectacular harbour view which greets you at the bottom of the road.
Our stay at Jane's flat was our first Airbnb experience. It has set an extremely high standard and we almost want to keep it a closely guarded secret. We would definitely like to return and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it as base for visiting Sydney.
