Hard to argue with the value for money of Bappy’s place, it’s private accomodation at hostel prices.
Communication was clear and very professional. The self-service check in process was quick and painless. The location is good, right in the heart of the nice part of Surry Hills with lots of pubs and cafes nearby, as well as access to buses to get around.
I had the downstairs room at the front. Word of warning - this room was very susceptible to street noise as well as other guests coming and going (some of whom seemed to forget they were in a shared accomodation space).
