I highly recommend Elise’s place. She’s a wonderful host who gave me great advice on local things to do and places to eat. The room upstairs on the top floor is very nice with it's comfortable bed and double opening window overlooking the trees and terraces of Surry Hills. The ensuite bathroom is small and compact, but clean and modern, while the adjoining ’study room’ would make a useful work area for the business traveller. As a base to take in Sydney’s inner suburbs (so many local art galleries, cafes and restaurants to discover), or to explore Sydney’s CBD and famous beaches which are not too far away, this place is certainly worth adding to your AirBNB wish-list.
