I had a wonderful time at Daz's place in Darlinghurst. Her place really does feel like a "home" and has such strong character! The views from the large windows are stunning and the whole place gets lots of natural light. I enjoyed exploring her excellent CD collection and being able to (rather badly) play the piano was great fun. The area is filled with cool cafes, art galleries and the like, and it's very well connected to trains and buses.
Her friend Mike checked me in and he was very charming and helpful.
Although there was some construction happening on the outside of the building at the time, I was usually out during the day so I barely noticed it - and it made no difference at all in the afternoon/evenings.
Also, there is a fabulous glass table and rug which "really ties the room together" which doesn't appear to be in the photos.
Highly recommended!
