I’ll make this simple: If this place is available for your dates, stop reading and click “Reserve Now” before somebody else does. You will NOT be disappointed.
I stayed for three weeks while in Sydney on business. I commuted daily to the CBD, and a big part of keeping my sanity intact was having this place to which to return as “home.” From the fresh fruit, to the well-stocked fridge, to a bathroom with everything I could possibly need, Jeff and Todd’s place was just spot-on perfect.
The Kings Cross train station is close, and bus stops are closer. You’ll get your steps in, but the route to the train station has plenty of good coffee shops, restaurants and other amenities.
Jeff and Todd hit just the right note and the right frequency with communication — often enough to check and and make sure I had what I needed, but not so often as to be off-putting. The updates of what was going on in the area during the weekends were also helpful.
Possibly the best part was the extensive documentation describing, well, everything. How to use the stuff in the apartment. Where to eat (sorted by “short walk,” “longer walk,” and “taxi ride.”) They compiled a whole book of local knowledge, which allowed me to reserve my limited free time to explore on my own with spot-on guidance and not waste time researching.
You forgot it? Don’t worry about it; they probably have it. Whether it’s a personal hygiene item or an international power adapter, it’s there. True story: The day I checked out, Jeff messaged, “There’s a luggage scale in the drawer.” Because of course there was. :) The attention to detail is like I’ve never seen.
The internet is business class, and came in handy when I was working at odd hours for other parts of the world.
Seriously. You’ve found your place. Stop reading and book it.
