Where should I begin when describing this lovely terrace home in Darlinghurst? First, Tanya is wonderful. From my very first enquiry to my last 'good by' she was responsive, helpful, pleasant, and knowledgeable. Second, the home itself is modern, comfortable, clean, and well managed. When I arrived there was enough food to get started before having to go to the shops, and all necessary soaps, plastic wraps, paper products, etc. were supplied. I stayed here for a month and only had to purchase a couple of rolls of paper towels and some laundry detergent . Third, all appliances are state-of-art, including a new washing machine. Flat-screen TV is great...but who has time to watch it when there is so much to do right outside your door? And, by the way, there is a wonderful upper-level-front porch where I regularly had tea or whisky while watching the street/night life below. Much more interesting than TV! (You can see the porch on one of Tanya's pictures.) Fourth, beds, living room furniture, etc. are all very comfortable. Don't worry about night-life noise if you sleep in the front bedroom. There is double-thick glass which literally reduces noise by 95%. I slept in that room. I know how quiet it is.
Finally, the suburb of Darlinghurst. It lies between other convenient suburbs such as Potts Point and Paddington. If you can't find what you need in one suburb it is a short, safe. and easy walk to another one. You can also easily walk into the center city where all the great shopping is done (e.g., look up the Queen Victoria Building and surrounding shops). And you can also walk to parks, gardens, and museums. You may not be in the mood to walk when the temperature is 35C, so catch a bus or train, all within a five minute walk. I usually walked, but also took the train from Kings Cross Station every couple of days or so. The station is right down the street. And did I mention that a great bottle shop is across the street and a wonderful small market is about 3 shops from the house? If you want a large grocery there is one across from the train station. Restaurants abound. Within a 10 minute walk you can find every imaginable type of food. I enjoyed them all. I should also comment on safety. This home is in the city. It is very urban. You will see all types of people and traffic pass in front of the house. That said, I felt 100% safe 24/7. Most importantly, when my daughter and granddaughters came to visit from America, they felt safe as well. Keep the doors and gates locked, and you will have no problems.
In conclusion. I love Sydney. I have visited this wonderful city many times. I feel so fortunate to have found this lovely property as my 'home' for a month.
