BOOK THIS PLACE NOW. Our family of four stayed for a week in June, and while we enjoyed all that Sydney had to offer, we could have remained in the apartment in Bondi the whole time. The place is beautiful--wide planked wood floors, high ceilings with decorative plaster, and tasteful furniture--but the real draw was the backyard. It's not large, but it is full of character with banana trees and other gorgeous vegetation. It was lovely to be able to pick up prepared food at the nearby market or shop for groceries and wind down there at the end of the day. James was extremely hospitable and helped us quickly and unobtrusively when we had a minor tub clog (totally resolved). Highly recommend.
