I enjoyed my week in Hugh's apartment... it was clean, very comfortable & well fitted out, with amazing views and was perfect for a longer stay in Sydney. Having the market next door was very handy, and the apartment excellently placed for public transport (both from the city and from the airport).

A few things to note:
- the windows are very low and open completely, so this apt wouldn't be suitable for small children.
- the bathroom is older; it was clean, but not as modern as the rest of the apartment.
- the building itself is a bit on the shabby side, but the apartment itself is modern and light inside.
- you do have to walk through a short 'red light district' to get to the metro from the apartment, but it's pretty harmless really, and as a single female traveller I felt fine.
- there is no air conditioning, which means it's necessary to sleep with the windows open when it's warm... I don't know if the apt. would be so comfortable in the summer months as it gets VERY warm due to the large windows. Also, unfortunately during my stay the level of street noise was unbearable for several nights -- even with ear plugs, it was extremely noisy until 3/4 in the morning. If you are a light sleeper I don't think this would be a good fit.

Hugh was an excellent host & answered all my questions promptly, and had no problem with me checking in early due to my very early international flight. I thought the apt was very good value & I'd stay again (but maybe avoid the weekend!)
