We stayed a week at Derek's apartement and we couldn't have asked for a better located place. The apartement is perfectly located for visiting all of Sydneys most iconic spots. Train station Kings Cross is only a 4 minutes walk away. Grocery is just down the road and restaurants, take aways and bars too. Neighbourhood is quiet, only at weekends you may hear a little bit from the near bars, but really not too much. We travelled with our 10 month old daughter. We never used our stroller but if you like to do, keep in mind that the apartement is on the second floor and there is no lift. Don't be surprised when you enter the building and all looks (and smells) a bit old, the apartement is another world. Well equiped, nice and new furniture and the view is very beautiful. Due to the warmth (no aircondition) we had to sleep with open windows. There are no mosquito nets, so don't forget to bring a good insect repellent with you. We had a good stay and would recommend this place for sure. Geoff was very quick answering all our questions.
