Surry Hills is the place to be if you're visiting Sydney! I had never been to Sydney and chose to stay in Surry Hills, unsure what that would mean as far as access to the city, but it was totally easy! You can take the train from the airport and be walking distance from the apartment. You can also use public transit downtown and to the opera house etc. This place is very spacious and we really felt at home. Check in was super clear and easy. Paul was in touch and gave many tips along the way.
