The apartment was chic and cosy. Exactly as depicted. We had an easy check in as the flight arrived early and we waited for Charlotte's husband at the nearby café to help us with keys.
There's loads of information left in the apartment which both Charlotte and Chris spent lots of time and effort in creating. It is very much appreciated, especially if you have not been to Sydney at all.
We were there in winter and being an older building, it was quite chilly but Chris sorted us out with the electric heater.
The building is minutes away from the supermarkets (either side of the road) & super convenient for supplies like bottled water, bread and snacks. Cafés and nearby restaurants, delis, takeaway shops and bistros are great and easy for days you don't want to use the kitchen. We found walking around to the back of the city or to the wharf a cinch. Especially the walk to Harry's Café on Wheels for pies. Or down Macleay St for other bistros.
If you are booked on day tours, pickups from nearby King's Cross hotel are easy to get to by foot. Nearby views of the city are good for photo ops too.
Only downside was the noise from the restaurants if you are an early-to-bed sort but it's the city and noise is expected. We were not fussed. Some people downstairs overstayed and talked late into the night but it wasn't a big problem.
Charlotte kept up with us throughout the stay on whether we needed help and it was very sweet.
The computer in the apartment was useful for bookings and online flight check-in. We also had one quiet night in with the DVD player so all in all, it's a fab place if you want to be near the city and have a few days out or a quiet rest night.
