Absolutely amazing apartment

Apartment was absolutely perfect! The view is beyond amazing, we loved watching all the boats in the harbour and what an iconic view of the bridge and opera house! Jinni is one of the best hosts I’ve ever dealt with and was outstanding at making sure everything was perfect for my parents arrival. The apartment itself is easy to access, situated in a beautiful area, well located for access to the city by ferry or train and check in instruction couldnt be clearer. Highly recommend this apartment,

This property is all about the view - it is both iconic and spectacular. The apartment is nicely appointed and has just about everything you need. But it is small - the bathroom is so tiny it’s almost unworkable - you need to squeeze yourself in to be able to shut the door or get to the toilet - we found this very frustrating and we’re normal sized people. Lavender Bay is a lovely area with some great restaurants.

Spectacular Amazing Harbour Views

Views are just spectacular. Apartment was clean, tidy and with everything you need. Extra touches from the host were much appreciated. Location could not be faulted, we loved McMahons Point. Shops, restaurants, cafes, Thai massage etc. Only negative was no block out blinds to block out early sun rise heat. We will definitely be coming back. Loved it!

Excellent studio renovated in a modern style with cleverly built in kitchenette. Fantastic location within easy walking distance of train station, restaurants, grocer, pub and spectacular harbour views over Lavender Bay. Very comfortable bed and seating. Great sitting on balcony to enjoy harbour bridge, opera house and boat craft. Easy convenient access via lift inside secure building. Host communication excellent and even allowed us to check in early due to our early flight arrival.

Lavender Bay bliss

The Studio room was was in a superb location with the most wonderful views from the balcony. Our arrival experience was a bit jerky due to working out the smart tag keys for the parking entry, doors and lifts. Next time we would do it a bit smarter now we know. The range of cafe's and restaurants in the area is extensive and we just couldn't eat any more so will have to come back. Our five nights were most enjoyable and we hope to return again once the weather warms up.

Fantastic Location!

This studio apartment was exactly what we needed for our brief stay in Sydney! It's located in a quiet neighborhood with lots of nearby amenities including restaurants, grocers, bottle shops and pharmacies - but it's just a 10 minute taxi ride or 6 minute ferry ride to Circular Quay. The wharf is a nice 10 minute stroll from the apartment. I can't say enough about the view - the photos don't do it justice. You've got a picture perfect view of the Harbor Bridge, the Opera House, and Luna Park's lights. Postcards have been made of this view, I'm sure! The studio is small, but it had everything we needed for two people. We never saw a single neighbor while we were there; it's very quiet. Check-in was super easy and check-out was even easier. The few times I needed to check in with Jinni, she always responded promptly and helpfully. I definitely recommend this apartment for your future visit to Sydney.

The view was absolutely amazing great area close to everything. The apartment was very clean and tidy. Contact person Jinny is very helpful the downside is Bathroom is extremely small and is not very user friendly as you have to step into the shower to close the door as the toilet is behind the door. The windows and doors don’t seal properly and cold air gets in. No heater for the cold weather only air cooler.

Great stay

My partner and I had a wonderful 3 night stay. The studio apartment is fully renovated including a full kitchen with nice towels and amenities. It’s a secure building, clean common areas and new elevator. Main attraction of the place is a fantastic unobstructed view of Sydney Harbour. There are nearby walks including Wyatt Park and nearby villages of McMahon and Kirribilli. It’s also very close to the North Sydney train station. Eye masks were provided since the place can be flooded with sunlight despite the roller blinds pulled down. Would highly recommend this place.

Perfect view of Sydney Harbour

We loved the amazing view of Sydney Harbour, access to local coffee shops, grocers, ferries and parks to run. The studio apartment was new and well appointed. The only negatives were a teeny-tiny bathroom that we barely could fit it (and we are slim people) and the building itself was old. Great location.

The apartment is small but perfectly formed! Every little detail has been thought of so the apartment is well equipped with everything (& more!) that you need. Secure undercover parking, easy walking distance to public transport (bus & train) for quick and cheap transport into the city & surrounds, cafés and supermarket in close proximity. And then there's THAT view! Jinni is a wonderful host and has thought of lots of lovely little touches to make your stay one to remember. Thanks Jinni - I hope we ate able to stay again in the future

This may be a tiny apartment, but it is clean and it has a balcony with the best view in Sydney. Sitting there of an evening, lights sparkling all around you, glass of wine in hand, Rainbow Lorikeets having visited us on the balcony in the day, and Flying Foxes swooping past at night - Pure Magic.

Stunning view

We loved sitting on our balcony each evening to enjoy the view. The unit was just as advertised. I loved the personal touches such as water and milk in the fridge. The bathroom is very small which may pose a problem for larger guests. Checkin and out were very easy. It would have been helpful to know that the key fob was now used to open the front entrance instead of a key as our jet lagged brains couldn’t figure out why the key didn’t work. Jinni was very responsive to all our questions and we appreciated her binder with local information.
