We had a wonderful time at Jane's apartment in Potts Point. She provided us with all the information we need to check-in smoothly, and the apartment was just as listed. The view from the apartment is actually even better than the photos, and it was so nice that we ended up spending more time at the apartment relaxing than out in the city. But since we were seeing all of Sydney before us, it didn't feel like we were missing anything!
You have everything you need in walking distance, including many places to eat (we had seafood, brunches, thai), several delis and a large supermarket, several liquor and wine shops, and many coffee shops. We ended up eating most of our meals in the neighborhood! You also have the option of ordering delivery if you're super lazy! (We used Deliveroo ;)
The area is safe and busy enough without being too touristy, and though there are many backpacker lodges nearby, there are also many nice restaurants so you get a nice mix of people and food choices.
The apartment is perfect for two people, with a full kitchen, bar height table by the window with an amazing view of Sydney Harbour, and Jane has provided guidebooks and maps so even if you are lazy like we were, you have all the information you need waiting for you. It can get hot in the afternoon, so the rooftop pool is a nice place to cool off.
If you are looking to relax a bit and pretend you are living in Sydney, I think one of the best apartments available on Airbnb is Jane's!
