The view is stunning from this THIRD floor apartment with no elevator. There are MANY steep stairs to reach the front door of the building. Once inside, there are more stairs to reach the top of the building where the apartment is. It truly is a lovely place and was worth the effort to get our large heavy suitcases up those stairs. The entry from Kirribilly St is a much better option, and was what we used.
The kitchen is stocked with basic pantry items and a lovely pots & pans and all that you need to easily cook up meals if you choose to. Within a ten minute walk you have many options for restaurants, coffee shops, grocery stores, pubs, public transport, ferries ~ and there is a wonderful walking path along the water's edge.
We had a chilly night and the only heat option is a small portable heater. Not sure if that would be an issue in the winter months.
The host was responsive to all our needs and questions. Highly recommend if the stairs are not a hinderence to you.
