I stayed for 2 nights at John's place as I had to attend a conference nearby. It is a small apartment, but perfect for what I needed. The place is clean and tidy, and the bed was very comfortable. The beautiful city views are a bonus! It was so cold in Sydney the weekend I was there, but John kindly offered me use of the heater that sits in the living room. It made all the difference, and I slept really well. Just a note to future travellers—the apartment is on the third floor with no lift (not a problem for me as I only had a cabin bag, but be warned if you have lots of luggage!). Also, street parking is really, really difficult to find. Both nights I had to park quite far down the street and then walk in the dark back to the apartment, which was not ideal. Other than that, great stay, and highly recommend if you just need something simple with a friendly host.
