Now that I know where everything is in Sydney if I had to chose the ideal location I would pick this apartment all over again. 5 minutes walk down to the marina at Potts Point with a lot of very trendy and relaxing cafes and restaurants. Great atmosphere in the evening down there. The other direction 5 minutes are more restaurants, a little cheaper plus a fantastic supermarket selling loads of healthy options. Finally as everyone says little more than 5 minutes along the main street there's Kings Cross station so getting here from the airport or around town, Blue mountains or anywhere is very easy. Beautiful walk through the adjacent botanical gardens to get to Sydney Harbour / bridge / opera house all of which can be seen along with that spectacular skyline from the rooftop pool.
The apartment was great for self catering as I ate out during the day but cooked in the evening (oven, ceramic hob and microwave). TV had plenty of channels to keep me entertained and the bed was so comfy, I slept like a log. It was a but coold being winter but there's a heater in there, spare blankets for the bed etc...
Really enjoyed my stay in Sydney largely thanks to staying here. You couldn't ask for a better location to get around the city and explore the center on foot. Quiet neighbourhood and everything on your dsoorstep.
