We loved our week’s stay at Gail’s apartment in Woolloomooloo. The view is as seen in the photographs and we absolutely loved sitting with a coffee and bagel from the Smoking Gun on the deck watching the ferries go by, cruise ships come in, parakeets in the trees and the activity in Hyde Park.

The location is fantastic. It is an easy walk into town or to the St James Station that takes you to Circular Quay. It is worth buying an Opal card if you are planning on using the ferry service to Mosman, Manly etc. All the buses, trains and ferries accept the opal card and it is an easy tap on tap off system.

It was very easy to walk out to Williams street and we had no trouble flagging down cabs when we needed to. There is a small supermarket about 200 meters from the property, which was very convenient for basic supplies.

Although the property is close to some major highways the traffic really was a white noise. At night we didn’t have trouble with loud party noise we just heard the occasional dumpster being emptied.

The apartment is very well equipped with dishes, pots and pans and it was easy to cook meals there. If you like seafood we would recommend a trip to the Sydney Fish Market!

The beds were comfortable and we were glad of the bedroom ceiling fans when the temperature climbed to 31C.

The pool looked gorgeous however the water was still a little bit cool for all of us. It is still early in the season though.

Gail was very responsive to all our needs and spoilt us with some treats she had left in the apartment. (Champagne, chocolate etc.) We appreciated the binder of useful information she had in the apartment and the travel converter. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again next time we are in Sydney.
