The place
Excellently appointed apartment with everything you could need. Contemporary and crisp without feeling clinical. Superbly comfortable bed, and a great bathroom. Decent air conditioning unit, dishwasher, towels and soaps all of a high standard, and wall-to-wall well decorated
The outside really contrasts which took us by surprise on arrival - the exterior of the block looks a little run down and the hallways are quite tired looking but open up the door to the apartment and you’re immediately relieved by the stark contrast. Single glazing makes the road noise and occasional airplane a little more noticeable but didn’t disturb our sleep. Noticed that the host had supplied earplugs just in case but we didn’t require them.
The location
Great location only minutes walk from shops, supermarkets, takeaways, cafes and restaurants. We walked into the CBD through the botanical gardens and past the opera house - took around 30 mins.
The host
Well organised, available via phone and the Airbnb app, seemed happy to accommodate where possible leaving bags in the apartment for a collection on the way to the airport which was very helpful rather than lugging them around Sydney!
Overall
Would gladly recommend this place as a base from which to see Sydney
