Perfect location

If you’re looking for an amazing location I highly recommend this property. Short walk to both The Rocks and Darling Harbour. Great pubs, restaurants and bars close by. Public transport is also very close. Very cool, quirky cottage. Living area is very small so don’t expect to be lounging around too much. Had everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Lovely historic property in an excellent location. Walkable to everything. Would be nice to have an outdoor space to enjoy with the property but there are so many common spaces close by, it’s a minor issue.
