My wife and I had a good stay at the apartment. Sarah was accommodating to letting us check in earlier as our flight arrived in early morning. We were welcomed by a fruit and bread basket on entry to the apartment and there were milk and butter in the fridge too. It's these nice little touches that made us feel cared for.

Being that this was our first time to Sydney, the collection of guides and brochures at the apartment eased us into planning our way around easily. The location was easily accessible from the main street. It's also walking distance to the Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Crown St areas which we spent much time exploring the cool shops and splendid cafes around. Other than Bourke Street Bakery, do also check out Orto Trading Co. at Waterloo St. which absolutely delighted us.

Bus stops are a mere 5-min walk away which we would take to transfer to a train to get to further places. You should pick up a MyMulti pass which will give you unlimited travel on bus/train/ferry, and especially on the M buses which only accept prepaid. We got ours from the nearby BP gas station.

The apartment itself is beautifully designed with a lot of wood finishes coupled with an exposed brick wall and nice artworks adorning it's walls. My wife loved that the bathroom floor had heating which was wonderful on cold nights and mornings. I appreciated that the kitchen had an oven and a dishwasher. All the essentials are in the drawers and cabinets so you can be at ease with cooking, if you're up for that. We made a few meals with produce bought from Coles Supermarket, a quick 15-min walk away. Sydney folks have it good with cheap fresh produce that is easily purchase from their supermarkets; organic foods are easy to find too.

Overall, the apartment is in a quiet neighbourhood that we felt safe and comfortable living in. We had a great time in Sydney and felt we made an excellent choice with this apartment.
