Easy check in and great communication with host who was keen to resolve any issues we had. The views from the apartment were fantastic and we could not have asked for a better location to visit the city. The ferry service is cheap, fast & excellent. Unfortunately the apartment is very tired and desperately in need of a refurbishment. The bed is saggy & uncomfortable, the carpets are stained & faded, the bathroom is dated and the kitchen is basic. Some of the blinds are broken and won't shut, there is no air conditioning but there were cooling fans available to use, but noisy & inefficient. The linen (towels/ tea towel etc) provided was old and in need of replacement and should not be used for a rental. The toaster was broken. There had obviously been a leak in the roof & there were rusty damp stains on the living room ceiling and walls. Having said all that, communication, parking & location were brilliant, so if you can overlook the downside then I would recommend this apartment for the location & views alone.

Response from VrboOwner on 20 Mar 2026

Thank you Sarah for your detailed review. We are sorry about the state of the carpet and the ceiling, yes as a result of recent damage from roof repairs and we are awaiting insurance approval to go ahead and have them repaired, which will be happening shortly. They are however clean and do not impact other than visually to some degree. I take offence at your comment about the linen. I concede that the tea towel left was not up to standard and that was an unfortunate error which was rectified immediately. The sheets and towels are of very high standard and are replaced regularly so you are out of line there. Oh, and the listing very clearly and boldly points out that there is NO AIR-CONDITIONING.

Stunning!

We absolutely loved our stay thank you. The view from the unit was so amazing it almost didn’t feel real at first but we quickly got used to it hahaha - how divine!The pool was an absolute bonus.We took advantage of the location and used the ferry services to get around - such a beautiful way to travel. Only downside was the only working lift broke down on Boxing Day with no service or maintenance personnel around, and we had to climb the stairs - 16 floors. But overall we just loved it and will be back!!

Wonderful views, easy public transport

Enjoyed being on the quiet side of the harbour, ferry stop on the doorstep so could head over to the city at our leisure then retreat when we had enough of the hustle & bustle. The apartment was as expected from the details in the listing. A tiny oversight with a cleaning matter, but wouldn't deter me from staying here again.

Views and Accessibility to Aydney!!!

The property has stunning views of Sydney Harbour and the ferry terminal is just at the foot of the property. The ferry ride to circlular quay which is close to the opera house and several points of interest is less than a 6 minute ride on the ferry. Such an added plus to be able to have the views in the water of the bridge and the harbour from both the penthouse property and the ferry trip across the harbour!

Could not have been better

This was the best of both worlds. A clean, modern, well equipped apartment with the best possible views of the Sydney skyline and harbour views located at the the end of a quiet street, across from the ferry 7 minutes away from the heart of the city by crossing the harbour. By using delivery apps and eating in restaurants, all I needed was food for breakfast, Better than the best!

Note:(I am sharing this now as I wanted to see if my first impressions would fade, they have not.)Ride share has no way to drop you at the entrance, the only option is to walk your luggage thru the garbage area of the Sails restaurant, charming. Security entrance telephone number was incorrect. The units living room ceiling is water damaged an easy 2 hour fix with paint but it has been left with the reasoning that it's an insurance claim therefore it will take time to fix. No temperature control, ie air conditioning so the unit is almost unbearable to sleep in even at 23 degrees night temperatures. There are numerous, maybe 5 fans, this has obviously been a problem for previous guests. The unit is marketed as a penthouse level giving the impression of luxury, which is quite comical based on its style age and design. The View is fabulous but a Million dollar view in a dated poorly ventilated aging building only goes so far to make up for all the shortcomings. The term disappointed does not even begin to describe my first impressions. The icing on the cake is being told that on our first day, a glass company will be coming into the unit to fix a window, (likely unattended) and that we should not open the window for 2 days. Day time temperatures were 33-37 degrees. My message has been cut short due too 1500 character limit.

Response from VrboOwner on 12 Mar 2026

Firstly Robert, you can easily be dropped at the front of the building, you just have to press the button on the boomgate! Secondly the listing clearly states that there is NO AIRCONDITIONING! I make it very clear. You should be careful when you book to choose only those apartments with airconditioning in the future. And yes, the ceiling is being fixed but it is out of my hands as it is going through the building insurance and as much as I try I can’t hurry them up! It didn’t harm you in any way, most people don’t even notice it! Have a nice day!
