Although the block looks a bit 60s eastern bloc from the outside, it is surrounded by fabulous mansions and when you get into the apartment it is funkily furnished in Chinese style. I was in Sydney for a week and a half on business and I found it perfect. The bus runs every half hour from right outside the door and it's 20 minutes to my office at Wynyard. There are lots of places to eat up the road in Kings Cross (which is fast losing it's sleazy image). Also the Lizzie Bay takeaway, about 200 metres away serves really good home-cooked food, if you want to eat in.
