This apartment is FANTASTIC! Seriously, look no further for a stylish, elegant, spacious, top location, place in Sydney. Thanks to Air BnB (and Perry) for opening up accommodation of this level in a place where there aren't really hotels so you wouldn't think to stay. I will come back to Sydney and never again stay in the CBD unless I absolutely have to for work. My partner and I have already said to each other that we will return to this apartment whenever we go to Sydney.
The location is absolutely prime! You will enter this apartment on Darling Street (not where google maps pin points it), the front door is in between two lovely shops (one being a great dress shop) and you walk up your stairs which opens up to a bright and airy large, high ceiling place. Beautiful drapery, huge bed, large kitchen and lounge area. You overlook the main street and right across the road are the weekend markets. Outside on the main street and right at your doorstep are yummy cafes, fresh fruit and veg shops, bars, restaurants, IGA, pharmacy, takeaway places and so many boutiques and beauty salons.
I booked myself into a day spa which was two doors down (so convenient)!! We walked everywhere and had fantastic meals and shopped up a storm. There is public transport on the street and just a 15 minute walk across the bay is Birkenhead Outlet Shopping Centre. Also in walking distance is the 7km bay walk which is lovely and very popular. There are city views on every street pretty much and the architecture is a delight to look at. Such a safe area too.
Perry provided us with a visitor parking permit so we could park on the surrounding streets, this was so helpful. She also includes breakfast, snacks and toiletries.
Because my partner was busy on a course in Rozelle, I was adventuring on my own during the days and it is the best spot for it. I found no need to go into the city personally (I thought I would). I also ran into Perry at one of the coffee shops and she was so kind and shouted me a coffee and we had a chat - such a great host who would do anything to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. She oozes charisma, charm and humor! Perry has always lived in Rozelle so she knows so much about the place and its surrounds. She lives near by so if you need anything she is just a phone call away.
I can't recommend this place and location highly enough - you will love it!!!
