This is a low-cost but well-located apartment on the doorstep of Darling Harbour and walking distance to the main touristic attractions in Sydney. I feel this would be an ideal place for the budget-conscious traveler looking for a place to sleep at night, have a shower in the morning and go sightseeing during the day.
The apartment is on a first floor facing a busy street, so expect substantial noise day and night. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils and appliances (although the electric toaster did not work) and you can heat up take away and cook some basics if needed. The bathroom is spacious, and the shower was great. The washing machine and dryer provide a nice addition.
The pictures do not convey the lay out of the place: division walls have been used to create separate rooms in a relatively small space. While this is useful in providing privacy for a group travelling together, it results in a rather cramped geography. The place looks a bit rundown and the towels, though clean, could have been whiter. Decorated with inexpensive furniture, we found that the mattresses could have been less lumpy.
Matt was a kind host who allowed us to leave our luggage a few hours in advance of the check in time. He was always contactable by SMS.
