Superb place, superb location, superb host.

Definitely worth staying and would have no reservations about staying again. Ariel makes you feel at home.

Ariel provides a list of recommendations in the area that are worth looking into. The place is 7 minutes by taxi to Circular Quay, a handful of minutes to Kings Cross, Darlinghurst, Surrey Hills, and also to the water. Enjoy life in the city, then relax on the terrace of an evening. I did some work from there and the Internet was solid.

ps: Photos are accurate. There is also a lift for those of you with luggage. A major supermarket is a few minutes up the road.
pps: A late recommendation was a cheese burger from the fish and chips restaurant (yes that's what I said) next door :) Well worth it.
