Tobias's accommodation is a perfect base from which to explore Sydney. It's a few minutes from the metro, but best to walk downhill, and down stairs, past beautiful Art Deco buildings to the harbour, for Manly, Botanic Gardens and Opera House. Yes, it is a bit noisy, but it's in vibrant, cosmopolitan Potts Point, with everything to hand, both inside and out. Stairways and hall, a bit depressing but don't let that put you off.
