We spent a month at Andrew's place whilst we were looking for an apartment in Sydney. We knew the area well already. For those not familiar, Erskinevile is a 10 minute walk away and has heaps of lovely bars and restaurants. add another 5 minutes and you're in Newtown, which is super lovely too. Within a 15 minutes radius you have a choice of 3 train stations too, so pretty convenient if you want get into the CBD for example. The apartment was really great and homely too. The outdoor space is particularly great!
