If you have work to do in Kirribilli, then this might be the place to stay. Laura is a great host, very welcoming! The space is serene as one gets views of the water (there are 2 spaces, the bedroom and a living room, both overlooking the water; the bathtub/shower is in the bedroom). The area is quiet/residential. It's a bit of a walk to get to the few cafes and bars Kirribilli has (heard Lavender Bay is more lively). I would have appreciated curtains/blinds on the glass wall by the stairs; I felt the space was not as private as I like it to be (also noticed that the harbor is used to dock the public ferries during the night). The great thing was that all the blinds for the bedroom and living area were automatically operated. The bed had heated blankets which was great and needed for the winter. Given there is no kitchen /washer /dryer, this is nice for short-term stays, if you need to be in the area. The fact that one is allowed access to have breakfast/hang out on the deck is superb and much appreciated! Thank you!
