Josie’s Paddo pad is a light, bright and a well located bedsit studio on the first floor of an older style block of 30 or so flats, surrounded by grand Paddington terraces. A stones throw from Oxford St and walking distance to some of Sydney’s prettiest waterside locations such as Rushcutters Bay park.
The bed was super comfortable and the flat was tastefully and minimally furnished, very cosy on winter evenings. We enjoyed our time but felt the place lacked some little touches that may have elevated it from a pleasant stay to an exceptional one. The kitchen was not as thoughtfully equipped as we might have hoped and the lack of a basic coffee maker (plunger or stovetop) was a big problem in the morning when you may want to sit and enjoy the beautiful natural light. The bathroom was tiny, a little run down and without a robe hooks. We also had a plumbing issue which was eventually addressed after our arrival. Though the studio did seem stylish, some extra thought and attention to detail around use, lighting and storage is needed. Overall, reasonable good for a short stay if you’re out and about exploring Sydney.
