Peaceful retreat in Paddington. 10 mins to Harbour/beaches. Close to it all!

Our beautiful flat in Sydney's Paddington is a peaceful retreat in a small block of four apartments with friendly and respectful neighbours. Our apartment block was built in 1919 as nurses' quarters for a rehabilitation hospital known as "The Scottish Hospital" nearby to aid soldiers returning from WW1 to recover.
We are headed overseas for 5 -6 weeks from late August - mid-October and we offer our apartment fully-furnished to a like-minded person or couple here. With a single bedroom, unfortunately, it is not suitable for a family but infants welcome. Ideally, we seek a short-term tenant looking for a stay of three - five weeks.
We are tucked away in a quiet tree-lined cul de sac. It is in the heart of the city, close to both Sydney Harbour, eastern suburbs' beaches, and transport connections. At home, we enjoy a verdant shared garden, home to abundant birdlife that gives us pleasure.

We are close to:
- major Sydney universities and art schools (UTS, USyd, UNSW Randwick/Kensington/COFA, Notre Dame, National Art School)
- hospitals (St Vincent's, Prince of Wales, Sydney Children's Hospital, Royal Women's, RPA)
