The best thing about this place is how close it is to a train station. I was in Sydney for a short holiday and squeezed in as many spots in a day and I often end the day really tired. Walking for a few minutes from the station was a life saver (in some days, literally). For most nights, it was really quiet but there was one night when the neighbors or kids outside were a little too loud. You can hear it but it's not that bothersome. Whilst the place is clean and well-kept, the age of the place may have contributed to a slightly funky smell. However, it's not that off-putting that I won't stay in this place again. It's very good value for money and Philip is very pleasant.
