Comfortable ground floor apartment was perfect for my dog who is not able to climb steps. Also easy to get to green spaces to pee, even late at night as it was well lit and there were usually other dog owners there.
Surprisingly quiet given the location. David organised temporary parking permits in advance (that I paid extra for) so that I could park right outside without worrying about getting a fine. Public transport from here is also really easy.
Supermarkets etc nearby, but otherwise best to avoid the main drag and a few seedy areas, especially at night. There are lots of other lovely streets to explore and interesting restaurants, bars and shops (I found a fantastic secondhand art/architecture/design bookshop in Roslyn Street). Easy walk to the park at Rushcutters Bay (perfect for a picnic, but nowhere to swim there). Would happily stay there again.
