We had a wonderful week in this Darlington house! It was an easy walk up Abercrombie to University of Sydney if you are in town for a conference. I'd strongly recommend this house to anyone who was coming into town for a conference! Its just perfect. An easy walk, safe neighborhood, plenty of room for 3 guests or more! We greatly enjoyed sitting in the kitchen area with a glass of wine or beer with our computers open talking about the presentations of the day.
The train station is close as are bus stops. Its about a 3 mile run down towards the opera house, so if you are a runner its a must do. There are parks easily accessible to change up a morning run as well (Redfern park is a short run, then you can run around it, Centennial is a bit farther).
The house is great. There's plenty of room for multiple guests to get away into their own bedrooms. The kitchen is very well equipped (you'll find everything you need in terms of glasses, silverware, pots/pans, etc.) and the kitchen dining area is great to sit whether its for work or just chatting.
Some reviewers mentioned it being noisy. That has to do with the back bedroom pointing towards Cleveland street which is busy (normal city road noise). I brought a white noise machine with me and that easily covered up the road noise. The neighborhood itself is quiet.
Everything was in good working order and clean. One of our housemates tried to watch the world cup one morning and couldn't get the TV working correctly, but I hardly ever watch TV so I can't really say that was a hardship. The internet works easily and well. There are great restaurants close by (Kindred) and many, many coffee shops. I strongly recommend this Alannah's house, and if you are coming to U Sydney for a conference, then stay here! Its much cheaper than a hotel, you can eat breakfast in, and talk with your friends about the conference itself.
