Louise’s penthouse met and exceeded our expectations in all facets.
Prior to arrival Louise provided an electronic version of her guidebook ( which a hard copy located within the premises), which covered anything and everything a traveler could ask for. Whether it’s exact location of the property, how to access along with local info and guides to the surrounding area and Sydney as a whole.
A day before arrival was an email asking our anticipated arrival time and other pertinent information.
Upon arrival Ricky met us at the unit for easier access and explanation of the external and internal security to the building and lift ( elevator for us Americans). Shortly thereafter Louise arrived on scene with coffee, a bottle of wine, bananas, oranges, eggs milk etc!
We were three couples from SF Bay Area and the property was better than anticipated. This was our first trip Down Under and we willl be back to Ozzieland and Louise’s penthouse.
The view is stunning no matter the time of day or night.
The location is in a quiet eastern suburb which is easily accessed by public transportation ( bus stop across street, train station 3 blocks away which also has a bus transfer station on the rooftop and a shopping area adjacent to the train station with two supermarkets (Aldi and Coles), bakery, specialty foods, bottle shops ( ie liquor and beet) etc etc etc. WOW
The kitchen is very well stocked from cooking utensils, and cookware. The pantry is also very well equipped including spices etc. There was also numerous bbq utensils and a gas equipped Weber bbq on the outside deck area, which also has outside seating and tables. A larger bbq and more seating is also available on the rooftop!
The bedrooms are very tastefully decorated with comfortable beds and separate room air conditioners. Beds are comfy and pillows are comfortable. The great room has a separate ac unit for the kitchen and living area which is extremely spacious and well designed. On multiple days we had our Ozzie friends join us for lunch and or dinner with room to spare.
The close by park, Rushcutters Bay and other external areas were easily accessible and an added bonus. The worst part of this trip and location was that after 15 glorious fun filled days we had to return home.
Thanks Louise and Ricky.
