I stayed here for a 2 weeks when I first moved to Australia and I must say I really liked the area. It is close to CBD, the Opera House, public transport & grocery shops etc.
Also the staff was very nice and welcoming when I first got here. They even kept the reception open longer than usual to let me do my check-in.

I had a room with an ensuite bathroom and I would definitely recommend that. The room itself was clean, the shared kitchen however could do with some extra cleaning.
All in all, I liked my stay very much and I can recommend the place. I felt it to be pretty expensive tho but I think for Sydney it's normal.
