We enjoyed staying in the apartment. We especially enjoyed the Merrickville Festival that was held the first day of our stay. Everything in the apartment was as described. It was very attractively decorated and included books and other items that kept it from feeling like a hotel room. The bed was comfortable. We especially liked the large cupboard/ closet in the bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped with basic food items, utensils, plates and dishes. We had several breakfasts and one dinner on the deck with a fantastic view of the Sydney skyline. There were two groceries in easy walking distance: one full grocery and one specializing in produce and Asian foods. The neighborhood has many restaurants. My husband and I have traveled widely (mostly in Europe) and we would recommend this apartment to friends and family.
