We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Marshall's place. It is perfectly located in the heart of Surry Hills with great shops and restaurants nearby. It's also really handily located for public transport and we also found you can easily walk into the city from there. It's beautifully renovated, decorated and kitted out and you can tell it has all been done with love. Marshall was a very responsive host and the whole experience was seamless start to finish.
The only watch-out (which was specific to me as a very light sleeper - also suffering from jet- lag) is that the bedroom faces the street and it can get very noisy at night and in the early morning.
If you sleep well though this is a fantastic place!
