Hugh is a wonderful host who meets you personally at the door when you arrive and gives you a good orientation of the apartment and the area. He is very concerned about making sure everything is in proper working order and very responsive to any questions.

The apartment is conveniently located with respect to the King's Cross train station and thus, a good place to act as a starting point for your exploration of Sydney. It also had everything we needed to make our stay enjoyable. The ladder to the loft was not something we older folk wanted to try so we used the bed in the living area, which was very comfortable and easy to lift up and down.

However, prospective renters should know that it is on a well-trafficked street and has a restaurant right next door with tables out doors. The sound from people passing by and those dining is very audible in the apartment during the early hours of each evening. It did settle down and become quiet later in the evening and did not really interfere with our sleep (although as I am sensitive to noise I did use ear plugs). Given that there is no air conditioning in the apartment the windows are open making the noise more disturbing. The ceiling fans did a great job of keeping the apartment at a comfortable temperature,
