Manuel's apartment was clean and just as described. He was very accommodating and very responsive through my stay and before.
There's a park down the street where you'll find an outdoor market on Saturday & Sunday mornings. Saturday's market is very happening and it's a foodie's paradise. Tons of local vendors set up shop and sell delicious food & drinks. I really liked that. It's a very happening area with tons of restaurants. My favorite was Gypsy Espresso. Google it, you'll like it.
If you don't mind a 20-30 min walk, you can easily walk to CBD. We like exploring, so we did it several times. On your way to the CBD, you'll run into the St Mary's Cathedral, Sydney Tower and several beautiful parks including Hyde Park. You can also walk to the Sydney Opera House. It will take you about the same time.
If you rather take public transport, Manuel's place is located within walking distance from the Metro station (Train) and there's a bus stop directly across the street from the apartment. The train and the bus will take you pretty much anywhere. You won't have any transportation problems here. Uber & cabs are readily available.
Love Manuel's place. I would stay here again.
