This one bedroom apartment in Potts Point embraces a glamorous city skyline across the lush Embarkation Park and the Woolloomooloo Finger Wharf.
It’s at the quiet end of historical Victoria Street, near cafes, restaurants, and - along Macleay Street - delis, antiques, vintage clothes and accessories, homewares, books and the newly relocated Penny’s Cheese Shop.
A stroll east takes you to the wide open spaces of Rushcutters Bay Park. In the other direction walk through Woolloomooloo to the Art Gallery of NSW (watch Sydney Modern take shape next to it), the Domain and the Botanic Gardens.
This apartment, in a well-known architect-designed 1960s building, is sparkling clean with cool art and artefacts and a sense of guests being treated (and trusted) like good friends staying for the weekend.
Provided is a coffee machine (and ground coffee), staples such as muesli, sugar, rice, enough olive oil and balsamic vinegar to dress a week’s worth of salads, plenty of plates, bowls, glasses, an array of pots and pans, and a cocktail shaker.
Generous with its bedding, towels and cooking paraphernalia, there’s also an abundance of hanging space and hangers.
The Rooftop pool and separate barbecue area have 360 degree views to the Bridge, the Opera House and all the activity of Sydney’s working harbour.
It’s a 10-minutes walk to Kings Cross train station.
Bonus: The bells from St Mary’s Cathedral ringing in Sunday morning.
