A REAL GEM
Our 6 night stay was a real delight. A quick walk to all of the transport options at Circular Quay. After a busy day of sightseeing, you come home to a quiet sanctuary. Our host was very accommodating. I highly recommend it.

We had a great stay here! The building has a neat history, and they have done a great job of turning it into an apartment. It had everything we could need to even enjoy an extended stay! It has a fully stocked kitchen and laundry. Sam was a fantastic hostess, giving us local recommendations. It's in a great, quiet spot, within easy walking distance of The Rocks and the harbour with all its activities. We loved staying here!

Lovely property, very comfy and well stocked with everything we needed. Our host was super helpful with any queries we had and had lots of great tips for our time in Sydney which was really helpful! Location was perfect for a city break, 10min walk to circular quay where we could visit Sydney opera house, the bridge and botanical gardens as well as a central location for public transport to many attractions in Sydney. Definitely recommend!

Perfect location
This was the perfect location for our four days in Sydney. Sam was available to answer any questions and make recommendations. Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance - bridge climb, Opera House tour, ferry to Watson Bay, etc. Would definitely stay there again if we’re lucky enough to get back.

Fantastic location
Location, Location, Location. The location of the property is fantastic. You can walk to so many of the great places to see within 20 minutes or less. We did walk to many of the places but sometimes took Uber's and the cost was very reasonable with the Ubers. We as a family of 4 adults easily could sit in the living room and have a nice chat. It might be small but found that to be also comfortable. Sam met my daughter when she arrived early and was so helpful, a wonderful person to say the least. The fresh bread for toast in morning, along with the tea bags for tea was a very nice touch. Only items I felt small negatives where the mattress on our bed was not built for a 6'1 205 lb person. There is no spring mattress which the allowed my body weight to sink to the hard surface and I woke up each morning a little sore on my hip. Not sure if it was just an older mattress or just too thin for a larger person. The guest bath is not a bathtub, just a shower, and you have to step over a fairly high (30") curb into the tub to take a shower. Just an overall bad design. All said, we really enjoyed the location and we would definitely stay again if we go back to Sydney which I am certain we will.

Amazing stay in The Rocks
We found a hidden gem among The Rocks! Sam is a wonderful host, and the location couldn’t be more ideal. Situated in an historic part of Sydney, quiet and quaint, the space had more than enough room for our family of four. The location is very walkable with great access to restaurants and the activities of Circular Quay. If we plan another visit to Sydney, this will be at the top of list to stay again.

5 stars from us!
The property was in an excellent location - easy to get to and lots of places to eat and see within a short walk - easy access to the inner city too. Our host was so helpful and friendly - all in all a great place for four of us to rest our heads for the night. Would have liked to stay longer but we were on our way south.

Fantastic Location!
Great property in the best location, easily walkable to the Opera House, Harbour Bridge, and all that The Rocks has to offer. The property is very cute, clean, and had everything our family needed during our stay. The host, Sam, was very responsive and accommodating, meeting us there prior to check in so we could store our luggage. She also had many great local restaurant recommendations for us. Would definitely stay here again.

A two story property
It is located walking distance (10-15 min) from major attractions, plenty of restaurants in the area. Bedrooms (2) are in the second floor by stairs. The property is in an historical heritage building, so layout and space distribution is a little unusual, which adds to the charm. The host is next door and readily available if needed ( we did not have any issues with the property).
