Frances' apartment was clean and bright. The best part was being so close to everything! Literally a 5 minute walk to Aldi grocery store, less than 5 to Hyde Park and only a 20 min walk to catch a ferry from the Sydney Quay. When it's hot you'll want the big windows open since there is no AC, but Frances does provide plug in fans in every room. There is noise from the busy street below but it is to be expected in a city. Overall a comfortable, convenient stay for us in Sydney!
