We stayed here on a Fri, Sat, and Sun night. Tina is a great host. She is friendly, helpful, very responsive. She added nice little touches like a few live plants and some complementary coffee pods for the coffee machine. She keeps the place nice and clean. Tina deserves high praise.
This studio has a nice view of the bay and is in a very good location. We visited the Opera House, the CBD, the harbours, and Bondi Beach. All were easily walkable or accessible on public transport. There is a lovely cafe for breakfast on a marina just a few minutes away, and several restaurants in the area.
The studio, itself, is basic, but fine. It is essentially a small hotel room converted into a small studio apartment. That is fine if all you plan to do is sleep in the room (which was our plan). However, there are two big problems with the plan to sleep.
1. The walls are paper thin in the building. We were kept awake by people in the unit below us sitting on their patio. They were just talking in normal voices, but it came right through the windows like they were in the studio. Then, we were woken up by a baby screaming and crying somewhere down the hall, doors opening and closing on other units, and what sounded a first like the shower running in units above us. That latter noise happened on and off all night, though, so I am not sure what it was. I know there is nothing Tina can really do about the thin wall problem.
2. While each window has a blind on it, they are too small. So, light comes streaming in, reflects off the floor to ceiling mirrors on the BIR and makes it really hard to sleep past sunrise.
Overall, this studio is reasonable, given it is closer to the low end of the price range. I am sure some people would not be bothered as much by the two issues mentioned, above. However, given the noise and light, we will not stay there again.
