Great location!! It is a great 15 minutes stroll into cbd, alternatively, you can take the train down (it's really expensive though). Also just a 15 minutes train ride to Bondi station. Downstairs are many eateries, so you won't have to worry about starving! We cooked most of the time due to the high costs, hence the kitchen came in great handy! It has EVERYTHING you need. Cutleries, utensils, condiments. There are even different types of cooking oil and even wrapping/baking paper as well as foil! We didn't use the balcony much, sadly, due to the cold weather when we were there, but we can imagine it being enjoyable during warm weather. There is some kind of construction going on opposite, but didn't bother us much as we were out most of the time. There is no view but the spacious balcony makes up for it!
