James it was a responsive host. there were several things that needed attending to when we arrived and he was able to rectify these issues reasonably promptly and there was I welcome hamper provided upon arrival - the apartment itself is in an excellent position for access to the city and ferries and shopping centers. - the apartment is very small but well thought out but unfortunately dicked out with cheap and cheerful ikea fittings which are not a very high quality - also there is a fair bit of noise outside of the apartment because of the bus is passing by and the garbage collections but if you keep the windows closed in the air conditioner on it's not a problem. It is a top floor apartment and there are two flights of steps to get to it. The view through the windows while sitting at the little table looking at over Sydney harbor is very enchanting. All in all, I would give this a writing of 7/10 value for money. We would probably be interested in renting it again next year.
