We spent two nights in Dong’s place at Pyrmont. Located in a gorgeous leafy street, a quick five minute downhill stroll to the harbour. There was plenty of options for dining within a ten minute walk, and it’s an easy 20 minute walk to Darling Harbour.
The apartment itself is above a pizza shop (really good pizzas) so there are stairs to be negotiated. Once in the unit the bedrooms/bathrooms are also up another set of stairs … so if you have mobility problems be aware of that.
The unit was clean and well fitted out. A few small balconies both at the front and back give you options to sit outside. Beds were comfortable but Japanese in style, so very low to the floor. Which can be problematic for older people to get in and out of.
There is very little in the way of a/c … I did find this a problem. There are old units in the main area and main bedroom but they are not functional. The only functional a/c was the second bedroom. Sydney can get very hot and while we were there it was very humid and rainy. Fans supplied weren’t really sufficient to cool the place. I’d strongly suggest money be spent installing a/c units in the main living area and main bedroom. It got very stuffy.
Communication with Dong was easy and quick. Check in was a breeze. There is two hour ticketed parking in the street and a quick 7 minute walk to paid car parking.
Loved the area and would stay again if the ac was sorted out.
