My husband and I stayed 5 nights right after NYE. The location is really great, just a 15 min walk to the beach, there is a big hill, however there is the bus that stops right outside the building and can take u to/from Bondi beach, or the train station/shopping centre the opposite direction. Lots of restaurants and shops around. There is a full kitchen and a wonderful grocery stand across the street. The kitchen had cooking utensils but was quite bare of food, tried to buy things in small quantity so we could cook it all before leaving as there is a strong policy to empty the fridge of food before leaving. I did suggest to the host that she should consider at least supplying tea/sugar/milk. There is no dishwasher but that did no bother us. The pull down bed was surprisingly comfortable for us, we like it firm. The A/C was old but did the job, just took a little while on hot days to cool down. We liked being on the top residential floor of the building as the walls are very thin so the only time we had noise was when someone played fetch with their dog on the rooftop one night. The TV had free view channels, there is a DVD slot on the side but no DVD rental kiosk nearby. Wifi worked well for us. The sunset on the patio was pretty. The rooftop had awesome views of the ocean. Be sure to bring your own beach towel or buy one at the shops. Overall it met our needs.
