Nicola's flat is compact, but very functional for your stay in Sydney. The location is very convenient with buses on the doorstep to the city, North Shore and Northern Beaches. Nicola lives nearby which makes it very easy for her to address any issues that may arise. Lots of shops, cafes and restaurants close by too but Nicola's flat is on a high floor on the quiet side of the building, the only noise in the flat was due to the elevators being adjacent to the wall (but the noise wasn't disruptive and didn't bother us at all).
