Just a perfect location for exploring urban Sydney. If you're up for walking a but, getting to the CBD is a quick walk. We easily walked to Botanic Garden and the opera house. The 333 bus was our good friend. You could easily spend a couple of days in Paddington and thereabouts--such a charming neighborhood! I just liked getting up in the morning and strolling down to Five Ways for brekkie with the locals. The house itself was cozy and worked great. The three upstairs bedrooms are actually a big part of the charm. Helen was a great host too! We'd definitely come back if we return to Sydney.
