If you want close access to the beach, great cafes, restaurants and ok public transport (it’s Sydney so don’t expect anything to run on time) this is a great location.
If you can sleep through anything, can survive heat and humidity and aren’t prone to mosquito bites, then you will manage fine, but unfortunately that’s not me! It’s a very noisy building with loud businesses operating next door and downstairs too. There aren’t any fly screens on the windows and there’s also no air conditioner, so if you have the windows open you’re going to have to put up with bugs and noise.
Sadly, this property isn’t one I will choose to stay at again, but I love the area and the cafes around the corner are definitely worth visiting.
