Over all the place was a good stay for us during our time in Sydney. It is only a short walk to Darling Harbour and also Newtown (lots of great restaurants). The little kitchenette is equipped for small dishes (we used it mainly for breakfast). You can also choose whether you want to sleep upstairs or on the couch. We prefered the couch because it is less hot downstairs ;-). The host was very friendly and replied very promtly.
