The apartment is well located, close to the city centre and in walking distance of Central Station, Hyde Park and Darling Harbour (and Sydney Opera house is 40 minutes walk). Surry Hills is also a posh suburb which has many amenities to enjoy.
The apartment is extremely well appointed, lovely little touches to make it feel like home (e.g., Apple TV, very well stocked kitchen, robot vacuum cleaner, guitar, washer and dryer).
We only had a few minor gripes, namely:
- We were only given one old small towel each. No hand towels at all. We were instructed to wash them ourselves when they get dirty;
- The internet worked intermittently and the aircon didn't work well when it got really hot;
- The windows don't open
- We felt that given it is such a lovely personal place, it would have been nice to have a personal communication from the hosts themselves. Instead, we dealt only with their contact person Bradley and most of the messages were tailored templates.
We have given all this feedback to the owners and hopefully there are a few things they can do to improve for the next guests.
All in all, though, it is a great place to hang out and feel comfortable and reasonable value given the city itself is very expensive.
