Hana ensured everything was in order before we arrived with heaps of communication and a welcome pack for the apartment, general area (shops/food streets) as well as recommendations for transport to various attractions.

The apartment is well looked after and centrally located. It is a 3km walk from the Opera house which makes it walking distance to all the Sydney attractions - Botanical Gardens, Pitt St Mall, Hyde Park Chillaxing, Churches, Anzac memorial, Circular Quay (Ferry to Manly Beach), State library and museums. An extra 20 minute walk will get you through to the Casino, warship tours and Sydney Bridge walk (bring water). We took Uber for anything that was a bit far away like Bondi (a $22 Uber ride - you seriously dont want to drive there and find parking). Uber to Circular Quay is a $13-15.

We managed to get in and watch the NYE fireworks from Circular Quay East. As my partner suffers from a lack of height, the nice Sydney people waiting for the fireworks let her go through to the front to see the fireworks better. Everyone was so nice to us while we were there. Additionally, being so close to the city meant we could just walk home quite easily and not get crushed in the public transport rush.
