If you are wanting to experience living in arguably Sydney’s best neighborhood, look no further than one of Don’s perfectly appointed apartments in Surrey Hills. Located in a terrace house playfully and surprisingly accurately named after Barbary Lane, the multistory (and multi-storied) complex in Armistead Maupin’s Tales Of The City, you can easily blend into the vibrant local scene. Shops, restaurants, and nightlife are all within the surrounding blocks; while the major attractions like the opera house and Harbour Bridge are either a short ride or slightly longer walk away. Both apartments feature outdoor space; well-equipped kitchens and bathrooms; washer/dryer; air conditioning; and designated living, dining & sleeping areas. Everything was spotless; the mattress was comfortable; and the towels were soft and fluffy.
Don was the perfect host — excellent communication, there whenever you needed him and yet invisible if want/need privacy. He even offered to take me and my rather cumbersome bike box to the airport. On a national holiday, no less! I would happily stay here again during future trips to Sydney.
