Lena's place is all about location, location, location! Staying here is such a unique experience, you are literally right on the harbour edge. You look directly down to water and sitting on the lounge, you feel like you are over the water. The views from the living/ bedroom are spectacular. This apartment is an easy walk to beautiful harbourside parks (they were closer than we thought) and an easy walk to the ferry.
We stayed here for 1 night with our 2 kids (aged 8 & 4) and found it was big enough for us all despite it being a studio.
As mentioned in other reviews, there are some stairs to get down to the apartment which weren't an issue for us and going up and down them was totally worth it.
The apartment is old and it's age does show in a few places (mainly kitchen and shower) BUT those things are easily overlooked as the views outshine any other issues really.
This is the kind of place you want to park the car and leave it for the duration if your stay as the parking around the streets is limited. You can either go prepared with food or we ordered in take away for dinner and walked about 1km to breakfast at Neutral Bay (Thelma and Louise cafe next to Neutral Bay ferry terminal). There is a very small general store in Neutral Bay also. Other than that you need t be a bit prepared unless you are happy to move the car and find another parking spot.
We loved our 1 night getaway for our 10th anniversary here thank you!
