Overall, we had a wonderful time at Reece's place. It is cosy and has just enough space for 2, well equipped for nights when you don't feel like eating out -- you can cook reasonably well in this apartment.
The apartment, though in a more dated building, is located in a central area, 10 minutes uphill walk to King's Cross station which is well connected to other parts of Sydney. There is an abundance of food options nearby as well.
However, the air conditioning wasn't working very well during our stay, and the fridge's freezer section was frozen over with a large chunk of ice. For those who cannot sleep if there are lights, do note that the exit light from the corridor shines in, so bring a pair of eye masks for better sleep.
Reece was absolutely wonderful and was of great help to us. He is very responsive and knowledgable about the area. Thanks Reece!
