What a gorgeous heritage listed property in The Rocks Sydney. The property was spotlessly clean, with a well equiped kitchen. Beds were comfy with lovely linen. 2 bathrooms a bonus. The living room was quite compact but we were not there to stay indoors so the property was perfect for our group of 4. Great location for walking around Barangaroo and The Rocks with the Metro line close by. Our host was very informative and helpful. Yes I would return.

We loved the location of this apartment. It was perfect and we needed no car. Easy walking distance to Sydney Opera House and Quay for water transportation. It was lovely to be met early for luggage drop off (by request). Very clean. Loved the sky scene on the walls and decor. A lot of space upstairs where the bedrooms are. Would definitely recommend and stay here again. Thank you!

The property location was excellent. The property itself was lovely. If you are a family who is keen to eat-in most meals then the living area may be a bit small and there is no outdoor entertaining (due to noise restrictions and local holiday leasing laws), but as a home base for a trip it was perfect. 5 min walk to the rocks, 10 min to circular quay and 10 min to barangaroo. We loved it and will stay again. The host was also great.

Great place, great location. Historical home. Pros: Beds were comfortable, AC worked well. Had all amenities needed. Host very responsive. Cons: Check in process requires you to meet up with host, even though it’s a keypad to get in. No WiFi. Definitely not recommended for people who can’t handle steps. Odd bathroom in master bedroom, if you like door shut privacy you don’t have that. Overall though this is a lovely place.
