After some research we chose Surry Hills for our two-week stay in Sydney and that was perfect! Super vibe, great restaurants, cool stores and you can easily get to the center (streetcar) and to Bondi (bus). You really don't need a car. The apartment of Dan & Paul is therefore perfectly located. It is accessible from a small side street slightly below Riley Street and thus just near Crown Street with many restaurants, pubs, shops…. The apartment is very quiet and even on weekends when there is a lot going on on the streets you can't hear anything from the streets. The apartment is very stylishly furnished with lots of nice details. It is a bit darker than evident in the pictures, but this simply results from the construction of the house. The living room is ground level into the courtyard/garden and the bedroom is behind it and therefore has no window of its own. The small but very nice bathroom is under Riley Street due to the level difference (it’s called Surry Hills for a reason). Dan, Paul & Hunter were very nice hosts. Communication, check-in and everything else was easy and perfect. They respect privacy (Hunter too :-)) and so you never feel like you are staying in someone else's house. We felt very comfortable and would come back anytime.
