This place has a great proximity to the major tourist attractions. It also has an awesome view of the Saturday night fireworks show over Darling Harbour. Overall we enjoyed our time in Sydney. I consider myself an above average AirBnB user and I’ve shared my ideas for improvement with the owners. However, here are a few things you should know before booking:
1) The immediate area is a bit sleepy on the weekends. It’s in a business district so that’s to be expected. There are awesome areas within a 10 min walk for weekend life. There’s also Two major bus and train stations within 5 blocks.
2) the furniture is worn out (for example, there’s tape on one of the examples holding the finishing in place) and the leather on the couch is peeling off.
3) Distance to the Sydney Harbour is about 1.1miles (1.5k).
4) the bedrooms get HOT. There’s AC but it wasn’t in the bedrooms for some reason. We ended up leaving all doors open over night to allow for air flow.
5) there was standing water in the washer machine and it smelled.
Hope this helps! The stay was decent but I’m not confident that I would stay again.
