It was great working with Mirko! He was very responsive to all of my questions, both before and after we booked. We arrived in Sydney via cruise ship early one morning, and he was able to accommodate an early check in for us. He took a break from work to meet us at the apartment and give us a quick orientation. He was easily available via text when we had questions.

The apartment was clean and comfortable. Great accommodations for friends traveling together. It has two beds and the couch in the living area pulls out into a bed. My friend's adult daughter did say that the pull-out couch wasn't very comfortable - probably would be better for a child.

The apartment is located on the first floor (2nd floor for those of us from the US!). The bedroom window looks out on an interior garden/courtyard, and the living room window looks out onto an alley and a brick wall. Not a big deal - we were only there to sleep! As some previous reviewers noted, there is some noise from a nightclub next door, but it wasn't too bad, and could only be heard in the living room area.

The kitchen is well-equipped with a stove, dishwasher, small refrigerator and an electric kettle. There is no microwave. Plenty of utensils, etc.

Good-sized bathroom, with a tub/shower combo. There's also a washer and dryer, which is great on a long trip!

This apartment is in a great location. Close to a grocery store and train station and within walking distance of most of the major downtown attractions. Mirko even left some local tour/information guides in the living room - that was great to have!

We didn't use the roof-top pool and hot tub, but went up to take a look. At the time we were there, the hot tub wasn't working. That's something that's the responsibility of building management, nothing that Mirko has any kind of control over. However, if that's important to you, you might want to have him check with building management to find out if it's been fixed.

All in all, Mirko was a very congenial host. I wouldn't hesitate to book this apartment again in the future should my travels bring me to Sydney again!
