I stayed here for 11 nights in July during winter. The location is great - lots of shops everywhere on the same road, supermarkets and everything you could possibly need. Bondi Junction Shopping Mall is very close too, just a 10 minute walk. Lots of buses on the street, very easy to just hop on a bus if you see one going in the direction you want to go. No need to bother buying tickets in advance. or signing up for some Opal card. You can simply scan your credit/debit card on the bus. It’s costs $1 or $2 only per journey which is really cheap. The beach is about a 10 minute walk max, close enough and there are lots of nice walks you can do in the area. I walked to Bronte, Coogee and Watson’s Bay from Bondi. You can easily stay in this area with just getting around on foot. The studio is small but after a while you get used to it. It is perfect for one person, ok for a couple and perhaps even a child if you just want somewhere to sleep and if you plan to be busy and out during the day. It is very well stocked, clean and has everything you could possibly need during your stay. There is also a large and reasonably comfortable bed sofa. The bathroom is nice and modern with a comfortable shower and the studio also has a heater that is useful in winter. The TV also has Netflix and other streaming accounts available to use for free.
Parking in this area is a problem. You end up having to park somewhere down the road for a limited amount of time and you have to keep moving your car or you end up having to pay for daily parking elsewhere. So if you have a car, I would do some research about this first.
The host, Norman responds to all messages very quickly, usually within an hour and tries to help with any possible problems. The neighbours are very friendly and if you have any noise complaints they are respectful and understanding.
Overall, I think it’s a great studio for anyone who like to be outside and busy during the day. However, if you’re somebody who likes to spend all your time indoors then you may prefer something larger and something further away from all the buzz in Bondi.
