Lovely apartment

Lovely apartment that was very central to what plans we had in the area. Very spacious and amenities all in working order. The only issue is the place could have used a clean. Thank you to the host for letting us into their property.

Great for Lockdown

We absolutely loved this property and wanted to stay longer but unfortunately COVID had other plans. Would love another stay and for longer. So comfortable and homely. Nicki from Uptown Apartments was really fantastic so helpful. Thank you Nicki for everything. 😀

Beautifully furnished and well appointed

We had a wonderful 6 night stay in this Waterloo apartment. It was beautifully and stylishly furnished, the perfect amount of space for our family of 4 and all amenities extremely well thought-out and appointed. Felt like home away from home & we will definitely look to re-book.

Work Trip

Great place to stay close to Sydney CBD. Plenty of places to eat. Its very hard to get a place with parking and this place had two dedicated underground parking spots, plus we were able to pay a bit ore for a third spot which was required for our work trip. Clean, tidy and well looked after comfortable place. Will be staying again in the future.
