This apartment provided such a beautiful space for our first AirBNB experience and our lovely visit in Sydney. This penthouse unit has such spectacular views—we woke up each morning and rushed to the balcony to watch the boats glistening in Sydney Harbor (even a panel of the Sydney Opera House can be seen from there). The host accommodated different arrival times for us which allowed my husband to familiarize himself with the area on his own, walking to all the harbors, purchasing groceries at the local shops, and checking out the available restaurants nearby before the rest of us arrived. Besides being modernly and comfortably furnished, we cannot express enough how conveniently located this unit is and how close to the Botanical Gardens and Hyde Park we were—we walked thru them everyday as we walked everywhere!! It was so easy to find the Circular Quay with its boats and adventures to Manly Beach waiting for us as well as Darling Harbor for our Koala Experience at Wild Life Zoo. We ate outside at almost every harbor including after the free 7pm Badu Gili show of Aboriginal artists displaying their work on the sides of the Sydney Opera House. Wherever we were we marked our walk home by passing the Australian Museum and following the neon green stepped outline on the building near this penthouse on William Street. This place is also easy for taxis to find (near the tunnel and big red Coke Cola sign, they noted) and is between two train stations. We stayed in, too, making our own meals, enjoying the comfort of the lounge couches and the twinkling lights of the evening city skyline views. The bathrooms and bedrooms were spacious and the master with its own bathroom and balcony became a little private oasis away from our traveling companions. The host provided many directions to and from the variety of tourist suggestions on their site and in the handbook left in the unit! We enjoyed wandering further afield to Bondi Beach and the many coves and nature walks along the South Head as well as touring Centenial Park and across the many bridges. If we were not so properly located we would not have had the time to take in so much. Bring layers for variable temperatures for inside and outside (even though there are heaters and air conditioning), depending on the season, and slippers as shoes are left outside the door. There are some extra stairs to go up to the unit after the elevator and 4 stairs inside the apartment, so plan on going up and down a bit. The washing machine was easy to use and our clothes dried quickly on the provided rack. This apartment worked so well for our Sydney visit and was a great launching point for our wonderful adventures. We highly recommend it! Enjoy!!
