This rates as one of the best holiday rentals i have stayed in! Location is excellent, the new L2 literally stops at the door step, the subway is a 3 minute walk and the Circular Quay ferry is just 15 minutes walk away (based on walking speed of two 70 year olds and a 4 year old). Food places of all budgets are abundant and there is a Metro supermarket just across George Street. The Rocks, Opera House, Botanics Garden, and many other attractions are all within walking distance or a couple of stops by the subway or the new L2. It was fantastic!
The apartment itself was bright, spacious and well maintained with quality furnishings and amenities. The beds were comfortable. the kitchen was well equipped, and there were lots of nice, thoughtful touches everywhere. I read one or two reviews about Mantra 2 being noisy at night, but this apartment is not affected at all if that was the case. We all slept soundly.
The host, Joe, fits exactly the AirB&B description of a superhost. It was a real pleasure dealing with him.
All in all, we had an excellent stay and holiday here.
