Guest Reviews

• SUSAN (8/5): Good apartment for our Sydney stay. - Location! Location! Location! Facing the water on busy street, it is lively view which we love. The apartment was cleaned properly ahead of our arrival. Spaces are comfortable for 5 guests. Large balcony with water view. The owner is very responsive to all questions we had. The sink from second bathroom was leaking and reported to the landlord.
• Georgina (8/5): Excellent - Excellent location All was wonderful. No complaints
• Lindsay (10/5): - Absolutely amazing
• Garry (7/5): The master bed in the master bedroom was the worst bed I have ever slept in. - Location Some of the bedding was dirty and smelt musky. There was a lot of little damage all around the place I took photographs of them all I’m not going to put them on because it’s only in case they try to say we done any of it.
• ERIC (8/5): very good - location was excellent beds very hard and we had 5 people staying but only 4 towells
• Sean (9/5): -
• COLIN (8/5): -
• Paul (2/5): Such a shame! Incredible location. Worst sleep ever. - The location is magic. Amazing view of Darling Harbor, with the restaurants directly below. According to realestate.com that unit was worth approx. $3.5m. Where do I start. Very disorganized entry process. Unit hadn't been cleaned from previous guests. With no apology from the owner. The furniture is the cheapest nastiest stuff that you could imagine. Stains all over them. The beds were rock hard and very uncomfortable. Such a shame.
• Mandy (9/5): -
• Monica (10/5): -
• Natalie (9/5): We had a great time. The location is insane. - The view was stunning. Great location. Just that the beds were quite hard and so was the lounge suite. The place was very clean except for hair and particles in both bathrooms and toilets in the corners and behind the doors.
• Christopher (10/5): - Location excellent. View amazing All good
• Suzanne (7/5): Great location and lovely to sit on verandah in the morning & watch the ferries come & go. Family friendly. - Great position, mostly clean (see below) Beds comfortable and clean, good facilities. Easy to find and great to be near restaurants and train station. The lounge was stained and we used the blankets from the bedroom to cover them, which made them nicer to sit on. Main bathroom had urine stains around toilet.
• kel (9/5): We had a fantastic stay although the apartment could use a freshen up. Would stay again - Likes: - View - exceptional! - Location - awesome! - Space - lots of room! - Convenience - a Woolies across the road, restaurants and eateries everywhere, train station 3 minute walk Dislikes: - Was hard to get in touch with property owner to be let in on arrival - Beds are rock hard - slept on couch (not much better as the couches are actually outdoor couches) - Couches are dirty - Some things don't work like light switches - Microwave has no knobs & main stove burner doesn't self ignite & there's no lighter - The washing machine sounds like it's going to go through the wall on spin cycle - Lighting in the bathrooms is terrible - Some of the extra pillows had no pillowcase - Lack of towels. There was only 4 towels for 5 of us despite letting them know there was 5 people - Cannot change the settings on the air conditioning - Only 1 key, gets hard when 5 people want to different things
• shafiul (8/5): tremendous location ! - sitting, relaxing and viewing the darling harbour from the verandah. Day time darkness and some issues with the cleanliness.
• Askwith (6/5): Great location but the unit was well used and need updating and a massive good clean. A white couch is not a good colour - Position The bed in the main bedroom was extremely uncomfortable to the point we were out of bed by 5am. It was like sleeping on a board.
• Amanda (10/5): -
• Jemima (10/5): This was the perfect getaway. Like a home away from - The property was beautiful and quiet. It was a very tranquil feel.
• Eldan (2/5): Very disappointing - Location The smell coming from the bathrooms The whole unit. Very run down. Dirty. The couch has stains all over it. And very uncomfortable. TV was very confusing to operate. Marks all.over the walls. I was very DISAPPOINTED 😞.
• John (7/5): - The apartment was in a great location and met our needs. The kitchen facilities were lacking to be able to serve a nice meal - eg no salad bowls, tongs, tea towel etc
• Welch (9/5): Wonderful location, great host. - Location is the best you'll get, wonderful views very spacious. The bed in the main room is the hardest I've ever slept on, maybe just add a mattress topper
• Vivian (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location. Clean and organised.
• Scott (9/5): Superb - The communication was amazing.
• Jippy (9/5): Superb -
• Stephen (9/5): Superb - Amazing location and view over the water watching all the boats passing by. The balcony was fantastic to sit and have a drink and watch the world go by. Very quiet which was surprising given the very busy location. We arrived by very from Circular Quay - couldn't have been simpler. Beds were very comfortable, well equipped kitchen, perfect for a family of 5, for a weekend city break. thank you
• Allan (10/5): Felt like home - The location was spot on. Close to cafe's, restaurants and groceries. Parking was only a 5 minute walk. I have nothing negative to report.
• Grace (10/5): Excellent location host was very accommodating and allowed early check in. Thanks jack we enjoyed the place very much wi - Location and communication Nothing
• Pereira (6/5): Pleasant - Location and apartment complex Mattresses were very hard and couches stained and uncomfortable
• Pedram (8/5): Very good -
• Denise (6/5): Really stressful getting in, but great location - Great spot easy walking to everything get restaurants, supermarket really close Couldn't get hold of host, even rang on a locals phone, so luckily someone in the property let us in. I then messaged him and said we were short a cup and towels, found towels in cupboard. Place needs a compenden so you know how to let people in and out, as you only get one key, duvet dirty, outside chairs dirty
• Gregory (8/5): Absolutely fabulous, you can sit on the balcony and watch the views for hours. - The view from the balcony which runs off the kitchen, dining and lounge room was exceptional. Just a pedestrian walk and trees between you and the harbour. You can watch the ferries coming and going and all the action on this harbour. Ferry stop right in front with easy access to all of Sydney. Dining all around. All this but so peaceful. The apartment is a little run down, needs a bit of a renovation, marks on the walls, stains on the carpet, and some mould in the showers, but this can all be tolerated due to the amazing location and views.
• Julie-anne (8/5): Captivating views but noisy - The property was light and airy. The large balcony with waterfront views was amazing and an easy walk to many eateries and the ferry to experience the fantastic waterways of Sydney Harbour. Hard beds and the noise from revellers and street car racing 1 - 3am on both nights made for disruptive night
• Hasina (3/5): Bad service, incorrect listing but good location - Loved the location. Very central with good views. I don't often complain but this one had it all... The listing on Booking.com stated 2 double beds, 1 single bed and a sofa bed. We were a party of 5 and needed the 2 doubles and a single. What we were presented with we we arrived was 2 doubles. We were expected to sleep another on the lounge which wasn't even a sofa bed. We spoke with the host, Jack, who instead of showing at least some interest in our concerns, told us we've got a good deal on a $4 million apartment. He didn't care that we didn't have enough beds for our group. We ended up having to create a make shift bed on the bedroom floor from the sofa cushions and some extra bedding. The original listing also stated luggage service was available. It is not. Finally, for the money we paid we'd not expect the bathroom towels to have holes and frayed edges. It's time to send those towels to the rag bin! And the collection of half filled body washes and shampoos in each shower screamed leftovers from previous tenants. We did reach out to Booking.com as soon as we arrived but were not provided any assistance or compensation. Since our stay the listing has been updated.
• Richard (7/5): Good - Location and size of apartment excellent . Balcony great. Access to building and appt good. Beds comfy and quiet from road below Probably needs updating on paintwork - ceiling tile missing and towels were tired and thin. Lighting in bathroom poor for shaving ! No working lighting on balcony Specific garbage instructions meant we needed paper bags for disposal- would've been helpful to supply these. Wi-fi poor
• Jinjing (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kylie (6/5): We wanted to love this place but it just needs a little more! - The location and the view. Bed and linen were un-inviting. Spare pillows without pillow cases. Cleaning standards were not high. Feels and looks run down. Needs love.The public q&a on the property advises of parking being organised for $30 per night. This is not the case- parking is close by but it is $90 per 24hours. If you park after 5pm and leave before 6am it’s $30.
• Angie (7/5): Great place to stay, just don’t expect any response if things go wrong. - Great location. Very comfortable. Easy check in. We messaged the manager twice and got no response. The fridge needed defrosting as the back wall was an ice block. We couldn’t get to the temperature control to adjust it. Also the air con was set at 24 degrees. Not so comfortable overnight! After much googling we realised it had been locked. Neither of these ruined our stay, it was just annoying that our queries were ignored.
• Gordon (8/5): Fabulous location but no drinking mugs was an inconvenience.,couches not comfortable. -
• Regielyn (10/5): The best property i ever stayed in Sydney CBD. Location, amenities, cleanliness,view&friendly owner. - The location, amenities, comfort and wifi provided by the property was amazing. Jack was very friendly and accomodating and you can contact him easily. Great place for family. Place is so relaxing and close to everything with a view.
• John (10/5): Exceptional -
• Stephen (10/5): Exceptional - The view
• Josh (10/5): Exceptional - Location was amazing. The views over the harbour were incredible and the unit itself was everything we needed. Such a great vacation.
• Michelle (8/5): Amazing location and the view is the best. Property is perfect for a family and has everything you - The mattresses and linen weren't the greatest. Main mattress was very hard. The doonas and some of the pillows didn't have covers and were marked / stained. The decor could be improved (ie no fake plants) which would really elevate the property.
• Huong (10/5): Really nice - As it mentioned the view is fabulous!
• Jaroslav (8/5): Very good -
• Garry (5/5): Great location, nice apartment. Host seemed nice on phone but I think needs to understand what hospitality and comfort m - Location, 100 metres from ferry, 80 m from Bourke st bakery. Water view. Lots of cafes and restaurants nearby. 2nd bedroom hot, had living area chilly but bedroom still hot. Water leak in ensuite, previous guest also noted this. Lounge furniture not comfortable. Kitchen , no cups at all, no corkscrew, bottle or can opener, limited cooking utensils. Had to walk up 4 flights of stairs to get keys as needed key fob to operate lift, not young anymore. No car parking, had to pay $270 for 42 hours in a parking garage.
• Glenn (8/5): Very good - The position was fantastic and Jack was fantastic.
• Verania (9/5): Overall, it was a great stay! Customer service was excellent! - The view from the property was amazing and the location was right on the wharf! The owner was great at communicating with us and let us check in early as we landed from our flight before way before the check in time. The place was clean and had a washer and dryer as well to do laundry which was helpful! Overall, very satisfied with our stay! The bathroom sink in the main room was always dripping which caused the floor to get wet anytime you would turn on the sink. The bed in the main room was also very hard, it didn’t have a mattress topper and was uncomfortable to sleep on, but the bed in the second room was very soft and comfortable. We also didn’t see any plugs in the bathroom.
• Sarah (9/5): Superb -
