A great stay at Claudio's place! He & his wife have created a comprehensive guide to help orient yourself with the studio, the neighbourhood, & Sydney, with lots of suggestions of places to eat at or visit.
Pros of the studio
- very nicely renovated with quality finishings
- nice shower with strong water pressure
- kitchen is well-stocked, with extra cutlery, plates, glasses, cooking utensils, pots/pan, towels, knives, oil, salt & pepper, coffee, sugar
- lots of storage, both drawers as well as closet space with hangers
- nice to have a balcony to sit on
- good bed linens and towels
- decent sofa
- lots of extra touches so that it doesn't feel like a basic apartment, like the wallpaper with the map of Sydney, extra blankets, etc.
- hosts are very responsive
Cons
- is a bit hilly around the apartment
- no elevator (not an issue for us)
- no air conditioning, although the Dyson fan/heater did a pretty good job in the warm weather
- Murphy bed is quite firm
Recommended!
