We booked our stay at Di’s apartment primarily navies of the location, the accommodation and how bright and clean it looked in the listing.
We were not disappointed! The location was fantastic at the South of Hyde Park with shops, transport, bars and restaurants all close by. It was an easy walk to almost anywhere in the city centre - even The Rocks was only a 30 minute, easy stroll.
Di’s communication was outstanding = whenever we asked a question, he was back to us within minutes (time difference allowing). Check in was perfect, he lives in the same building so was there to welcome us and show us around and give us tips about the area and the city.
The apartment was exactly as advertised and the pictures are very representative of what we got - the only thing that they didn’t show was the fantastic views from the balcony! The apartment is on the 12th floor, one slow the penthouse and the outlook is excellent with two balconies from the lounge.
The A/C worked a treat! The day we left, the temperature soared to 35C+ and we were nice and cool, even though it got really warm outside.
The kitchen is really well stocked and Di had left us some coffee and some amenities. There were soap dispensers, dishwashing equipment and shampoo in the apartment. There were plenty of towels.
The bathroom is excellent with double sinks and loads of storage space and the shower has a HUGE rain shower type head that was a total pleasure to use. There is plenty of hot water.
Although there are two bedrooms, we only used the master and the bed was really comfortable - we slept brilliantly the entire time we were there.
We were there between two cruises and specifically needed laundry facilities, there was a massive washer that totally swallowed all of our washing in quick order and there is either a dryer or a clothes rack on the balcony which we found really useful.
The TV had an XBox One preloaded with Netflix and YouTube and the Internet speed was quick enough for whatever we needed.
This apartment was a total home from home and had absolutely everything that we needed for our week in Sydney - we loved it and will definitely be staying again!
Thank you Di :)
