You can't beat this location! Right across from Baragaroo Metro and the walking/jogging trail along the water. Walking distance to SO much and expanded radius this metro. Close to historic, tasty eats and brews (beer and coffee). Heritage property is funky and charming, though not designed so much for hanging out (not a lot of living room or dining space, but who cares? You are in Sydney!). The primary suite has awesome sun/reading porch and ensuite toilet and shower, but the view from the bedroom at the other end of the hall includes the water & Anzac Bridge, watch for gorgeous sunrise and sunsets - or walk down and see it in person. No issue for our party, but be aware that you go up stairs an alley and more steps to get in the property, then all bedrooms are on second level. So, those with mobility issues and/or heavy luggage need to be sure it's doable. Also, taxis and Ubers map 'flat' and confuse pick-up and drop-offs accordingly. Follow the host's clear instructions to avoid walking a long uphill climb from the tunnel below.Host was prepared for us and answered all our questions and provided reminders. Never got to meet Max (the pooch)... maybe next time I come for a summer visit.

Excellent location, easy access to circular quay and darling quay, city centre in close reach, transport links great. Good access restaurants and bars, quirky property. Good that they had picnic blankets and sarnie boxes. Good to have a washing machine and drier, toiletries provided is a bonus as it cuts down on luggaage weight. Photographs are outdated on Vrbo, accommodation needs decoration throughout, dark in living area and kitchen as walls are painted black, no real natural lights coming in. Unable to use outside area, no WiFi provided and I would say in need of a deep clean. Sadly due to holiday let regulations oven and hob cannot be used. I feel this should be stated in the property listing. That said we learnt a new skill of air fryer cooking.
