Pros:
-Excellent communication by host throughout my stay (I communicated primarily with Craig).
-Craig was also flexible and able to accommodate my non-standard check-in time.
-Great location: Plenty of restaurants, bars, shops, and nightlife to keep you entertained. Also pretty central to all the Sydney hot spots.
-Apartment was very spacious, especially compared to many other 1 bedroom apartments in Sydney. Perfect for accommodating singles or a couple and would be a great spot to host lunch/dinner/game night etc with a few friends.
-Internal Washer/Drier combo was very convenient. (Located in the bathroom)
Cons:
-There was a bit of street noise at night from the below bars/clubs. This honestly wasn't a big issue for me as my stay was during winter and I slept with the provided Dyson heater turned on in the room, which provided enough background/white noise to cover up the club music.
-There is some wear and tear (cracks/discoloration etc) on the walls in the bedroom and bathroom, so don't be surprised when everything is not as pristine as they look in the listing pictures.
-The shower area had black mold growth on the floor. This could have been from the significant amount of rain Sydney had had prior to my arrival. I mentioned it to the host who was very quick to send someone to clean it up, but it did start to grow back over time.
-The building is very old, so there is no insulation and the space tended to be very cold during the winter nights. But as mentioned previously, a few heaters are provided which were more than enough to warm the bedroom, but not enough to warm the entire space all the time.
Overall: Good stay. A bit on the expensive side, but I would stay here again. I imagine it would be a bit more of a pleasant experience during warmer/drier months.
