A two bed apartment with a huge private outside area less than a minute away from Birchgrove Wharf (17 mins on the ferry to CBD) and a 15 mins walk to Balmain high street for restaurants and pubs. The kitchenette is quite small but has what you need to make a variety of different meals (but honestly, you should be eating out in Balmain or Rozelle).
The apartment is part of a huge house which has a back garden where you can dive into the sea, and has its own pool (which you can use) with amazing views.
The hosts were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and accommodating.
The space isn't modern, but neither is the most part of this part of Sydney. We booked four different Air BnB's across Sydney since emigrating from the UK and this was the best value for money.
