The apartment is well situated for public transport but not ideal for a car user. There are lots of cafes, restaurants etc on the doorstep, you can walk to the Opera House and Botanic Gardens in about 20 minutes.
There is some noise, it is after all an ‘urban village’, but we didn’t think that this was a major issue, you shouldn’t expect rural tranquility.
We thought that the host was very honest in her description of the apartment and location. We did feel that the photographs gave an impression that the rooms are bigger than they are ‘in the flesh’. The dimensions are provided in the description however.
There are lots of thoughtful touches, plug adapters, PC, music player, condiments for cooking. Check-in was easy. The bed is comfortable.
We do think that the apartment would benefit from improved air conditioning, if you’re not used to Australian heat you could find the apartment to be very hot as we did.
