This is a wonderful apartment for a base to explore Sydney and beyond. A great location with easy access to restaurants (fancy and not fancy), shops, trains & buses, cafes, and culture. It's really clean, well equipped (good kitchen!), cozy, with a size that works well for two people, and the balcony adds another "room" to the apartment. There is some audible street noise, but I didn't find it excessive or bothersome. Reliable and fast internet. Great having a good washer and dryer right in the apartment! And the elevator in the building is a real plus if you're traveling with heavy luggage.
