Rushcutter's Bay is the perfect place to get to know tourist Sydney (20 minute walk to downtown and Circular Quay and to know native Sydney because you're close to neighborhoods where the Sydney-siders live. Sylvia is charming, gracious, and a wonderful host. Before I arrived, she helped me think through my transport and timing. While I was there she offered helpful tips on where to go, what's best, and how to get around. Her place is in a 10-ish year old building with a very modern design. There was plenty of room for my stuff (closet and bathroom storage), the wi-fi is decent (I could Skype from any room), the kitchen is massive. I got to pack less because Sylvia has a washer and dryer--that was really helpful. She works as a residential real estate agent, so her place is, of course, immaculate. She reads people well and will probably be a great host for you! I fell in love with Sydney and will definitely seek this location out when I return.
