My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dons place. The Surry Hills neighborhood is highly enjoyable to explore it has restaurants, bars, and boutique shops all within easy walking distance. It is a bit farther to get to the CBD on foot (about a ~45 min walk) which is how we chose to get around but that was totally fine for us! We heard from fellow tourists the Sydney bus system is easy to use if we had wanted to go that route. Loved the extra touches Don provided including two free vouchers for coffee at a lovely Columbian cafe as well as cereal and milk. Don was super responsive to questions and able to accommodate checking us in early since we had such an early flight into the city. Would not hesitate to stay at Dons place again when back in Sydney!
