Charming Studio Apartment in Surry Hills

I really enjoyed my stay here. The apartment was a comfortable and convenient base for a couple of days exploring Sydney, and the Surry Hills location made it easy to get around by public transport while still having a great neighbourhood to come back to. The apartment itself was immaculately clean and had everything I needed for a short stay. I especially appreciated having a coffeepot, and the supermarket just a short walk up the street for groceries. The host was very kind and helpful and communication was excellent. Overall, I thought this was very good value for such a convenient Sydney location and I’d happily stay here again.

A couple of things worth being aware of are that access is via a fairly tight, winding set of stairs, and there was a noticeable stale cooking smell in the shared entrance/foyer area during my stay. Neither affected the apartment itself, which was spotless and very comfortable. Also worth bearing in mind is that the area is very vibrant and there was a bit of noise from outside at night, so earplugs for sleeping are highly recommended.

Location good.

did not expect stairs to reach the apartment

Ease of access, price

It’s smaller than appears online

Great location - close to public transport and all the lovely restaurants in Surry Hills.

The apartment had an unusual smell to it - when I arrived the windows were open and all fans were turned on. The bed was really uncomfortable and hard and the pillows need to be replaced. The location is great but it can be noisy on the weekends as lots of large groups pass by. It wasn’t overtly dirty, just needs a really good deep clean and a few things were dusty, the layout was also highly unusual and the shower isn’t comfortable.
