Matt's apartment is a pleasant 10 to 15 minutes walk from Newtown train station, which is very convenient as my best friend and I went around Sydney by train. Newtown is only a few stops away from the city centre. There are many restaurants and bars around Newtown as well. We liked that a lot. The apartment was cozy and comfortable. Our small gripe was that there was no shampoo or soap provided, though we did solve that easily by purchasing some from the nearby convenience store.
