The location was great. Lots of good restaurants within walking distance as well as grocery and convenience stores. Was wonderful to have the balcony. We enjoyed the squawking parrots and cockatiels in the mornings and evenings and also watching the big bats fly by (they are harmless, are great at catching insects, just did fly overs, we never saw them except in the sky). As Lola says there is no air conditioning so be sure and close the blinds when you leave for the day. We were very busy and not there until the late afternoon/evening so it cooled off decently at night. We appreciated the cold water we found in the fridge and the coffee and milk to have available for the first morning. The washer/ dryers are in a common area on the ground floor not in the unit and are coin operated so if laundry is important to you be sure you get aussie coins! We walked all the way to Circular Quay - about 40 minutes and do able if you are in decent shape Would recommend
