This is a gem of an apartment in an outstanding location.
The apartment itself, while a studio, is bright, spacious and tastefully decorated. Every amenity you could desire is provided, including a very well-equipped kitchen, a nice bathroom, and a good sized washer/dryer.
While the apartment is on a busy road, none of the street sounds come into the apartment when the balcony door is closed. The building is upscale, quiet and maintained well.
Which brings us to the location. I've been to Sydney several times, but this was my first experience in Newtown. It's simply wonderful. Within steps of this apartment are countless good restaurants, many moderately priced by Sydney standards. If you plan to do some of your own cooking, there are decent markets within walking distance. While the apartment is not located in the main tourist areas, they are readily accessible by public transportation.
Finally, Narelle is a superb host. While we never met, she was extremely gracious in our written communications and responded promptly. I felt quite welcome in her apartment and would have no hesitation about booking this unit again in a future visit to Sydney.
Very highly recommended!
