Dionne was a great host. She allowed me to check in several hours earlier and met me upon arrival to walk through the unit and building. She was very responsive to any inquiries before and during my stay.
The unit was in a great location with a cafe right across the street, and shops in the next block. Uber to Darling Harbour varied between 5-10 minutes depending on traffic. The unit's balcony faced a side street so although you could still occassionally hear traffic from the main street, the noise was mostly unnoticeable.
The unit was very accommodating. The bed was very comfortable and there was plenty of storage in the closet and cupboards for clothing. The shower had an amazing waterfall shower head with unlimited hot water. There was a hair dryer, soap, shampoo (but no conditioner) and toilet paper. The kitchen had all the basics (there was no espresso machine but the cafe across the street solved that problem). There was an enormous selection of DVDs to choose from as well as local tour books. There was a washer and dryer which was nice. And free use of a designated parking spot in the garage.
There was free wifi but it acted wonky at times, especially at night. Maybe it's an Aussie thing as I haven't had the best experience with internet no matter where I've stayed in Sydney. I kept having to log back in. But once I was in, everything was good.
One thing to note is that the bedroom is not completely private. There is a door but one of the bedroom walls is open to the kitchen/dining/lounge area. Not an issue if you're traveling by yourself or a significant other. But potentially problematic if traveling with anyone else.
I would definitely stay in this property again if I had the chance. Overall, the value was very good for the location, accommodations and level of service from Dionne. Thanks, Dionne!
