This compact studio apartment is located at the fashionable end of Potts Point, and a short walk from Elizabeth Bay Marina. Less than 10 min walk to bustling Kings Cross, it is well connected for exploring Sydney, and offers a wealth of restaurants, bars, and things to do and see. The view over Elizabeth Bay Marina is lovely, and I enjoyed working at the bench in the studio whilst watching the boats on the sparkling sea.
The apartment block is modern and well presented. The 24 hour reception desk meant a late check in could be accommodated after a delayed flight, and gave a sense of security. The lifts were reliable and operated by a secure key fob.
The Wi-fi provided within the studio is the best I’ve had in an AirBnB - superfast and reliable enough for me to work easily.
So lots of positives! I would however say that the written description when I booked was a bit misleading. It describes a “full sized kitchen” and implies it is suitable for self catering. There is a single ring induction hob, stored in a high cupboard, which can only be accessed via steps, and there is no room to leave it out. The other cooking facility is a combined convection/microwave oven. As I was planning to self cater (travelling for work, on my own), I found this disappointing.
The only other issue I found related to storage space. If you’re planning an extended stay, and/or you’re not happy to live out of a suitcase, you should be aware that there are a few pegs behind the main door with a few coat hangers, no drawers, no wardrobe.
Having said all that, the studio was good value, and Victoria was helpful. It’s warm (I was there in winter) and comfy, and secure. Would I come back? Probably, for a short-ish stay that was planned to include eating out on most evenings, and where I didn’t mind slightly crumpled clothes.
