The location of this apartment is perfect. Easy walk to The Rocks, Sydney Opera House, Botanical Gardens, Circular Quay, Millers Point, Pyrmont, Chinatown, shopping, etc. There are lots of restaurants, bars, and coffee shops around. Apartment is close to many metro, ferry, bus, and light rail stops. Public transportation in Sydney is world class, clean, and easy to navigate.
The apartment was clean and stocked with basic necessities like pots and pans, dish soap, laundry detergent, toilet paper, limited towels, etc. The owner was very responsive. As this was our first trip to Sydney, we had several questions.
The shower has very high pressure and is plenty hot. Unfortunately, the hot water runs out quickly. As there were three of us, this often meant waiting 15-30 minutes between showers. The apartment heat / AC was not working. But wasn’t needed the days we were there. The oven wasn’t working. There was a big temporary patch in the bathroom ceiling.
Sydney is booming and there is construction almost everywhere. Construction across the street makes it tough to sleep in or relax during the day. Might inquire if it is still going on. They start arriving at 0430 and are in full swing from 0600 to 1600. Being that this apartment is on the second floor, the construction is definitely a distraction.
