We stayed for a week and loved it. It was exactly what we were looking for - a place that feels like home and is in a very central location. One day we walked from Rushcutters Bay to the Botanical Gardens and approached the Opera House that way. A great walk! We walked back again, however if you are not a walker ... Ubers from the apartment to Circular Quay averaged $16 so were quite affordable . The apartment is smallish but super compact with quality fittings and appliances, it has all the functions you would want (we cooked several nights, and fitted five people around the table easily) and we loved the little touches ... some goodies in the fridge, the lovely linen bed covers, the Aesop body wash in the bath room as well as the coffee and tea basket. We shopped locally at the closeby Harris Farm shop (but there is an Aldi closeby as well), we loved the Potts Point Market for bread and the coffee shop belonging to the Rushcutters Bay Tennis Club was a find. Yes, there is some traffic noise , but Tim had kindly provided ear plugs which we did not need. The balcony allowed us to sit outside and watch the city lights at night. We'd definitely recommend it.
