The apartment is on the ground-floor of a low-rise apartment building, so easily accessible from street level (just one short flight of stairs). While not spacious, the apartment has everything you need, sensibly laid out. The neighborhood is a treasure trove of interesting shops, restaurants and cafes, with even a few interesting and well-stocked grocery stores not too far away. It's just a short bus ride (or a longish walk) from Central and downtown Sydney. I found it particularly handy as a place to stay while my wife was in St Vincent's Hospital, which is a 5-minute walk away.
