Alastiar's apartment has the most sensational view of Sydney Harbor, the pictures just don't do it justice. The location is lovely, a beautiful area, quiet and peaceful with tree lined streets and stunning homes. Even though we were travelling with 2 little kids (4 yrs and 9mths) without a car, we found it easy to walk everywhere with our double pram and access to the ferry was an enjoyable walk (we used Milson's Point ferry station rather than Kirribilli station which is a bit closer but has steps going down to the station). The ferry system in Sydney is very easy to navigate and is prompt and reliable. It's also only a short walk to cafes and restaurants which we enjoyed for breakfast and lunches, though we ordered in a lot of the nights as it was easier with the kids to get them to bed and then we could just enjoy the best view than anywhere else! We loved watching the harbor activity from the outdoor balcony or from the comfy sofa by the window. My four year old was very excited to see the cruise ships come in at dawn. We made the most of our days with our early starts! Those travelling with kids, just be aware that there are steps form the footpath to the apartment entrance and then another flight of stairs to get onto the passageway that goes to the apartment's door. We had to fold up our pram to get in, but if you just had a single pram, I think you would be fine. There are a couple of small supermarkets nearby and a bottle shop which are great to collect bits and pieces, but I did an online Woolworths delivery to arrive on our first day which made it really easy and I would recommend other families do this. Although we didn't meet Alastair in person, the check-in and check-out procedure was very easy. Alastair was extremely prompt and polite in getting back to my questions and requests and was very accommodating with allowing a later checkout which allowed us to have a stress free morning before taking our onward flight. The apartment is well equipped and had all that we needed. The beds were comfortable and made up with nice linen, a good new port-a-cot and high chair provided and plenty of towels. We thoroughly enjoyed our week's stay here and will be our first choice when returning to Sydney.
