This is a fabulous place to stay, either for a vacation or for a work trip. The flat is extremely comfortable - great sofa, good shower, comfy bed - and very well stocked with a good selection of the kinds of things that you’d have in your own home in terms of kitchen utensils, pans, spare towels for the pool, etc etc. Annette had also left us bread, milk, butter, wine, and the best marmalade that I’ve ever tasted, which was all very much appreciated. The TV has Netflix. There is an aircon unit, though we didn’t really need to use it as the ceiling fans are more than enough to keep the flat cool.
The thing that is really special about the flat, however, is the location. The swimming pool has views over to the Opera House, and seems to be relatively little used - we were here in the summer and there were rarely more than two or three other people down there. The building is so close to McMahon’s Point ferry wharf that you can watch from the window for the ferry docking at Milson’s Point - the wharf opposite - and then run down in time to catch it. The ferry takes you into either Darling Harbour or Circular Quay, where you can hop onto a train. And there are lots of buses from the wharf too, so again all very close.
Finally, Annette was very prompt to reply to messages and kindly allowed me a late check out, which made a big difference to my last day.
I highly recommend the apartment and I would happily stay again on a future trip.
