The Neighborhood:
This stylish 2 bedroom apartment in Darlington offers the perfect base for both business travellers and holidaymakers looking to explore Sydney with ease. Set in a quiet, tree-lined pocket of the inner city, you'll be surrounded by culture, convenience, and a true local atmosphere — all just minutes from the CBD.

Darlington is known for its creative energy and central location. It's right next to Redfern Station, Sydney University, and the rapidly growing Tech Central precinct, making it ideal for business stays, remote workers, or those attending conferences and campus events. With Central Station only a 15-minute walk away, you'll have fast access to trains, buses, and the airport.

For travellers on holiday, there's no shortage of things to enjoy. You're walking distance to Carriageworks, one of Sydney’s most exciting contemporary arts venues, home to weekly farmers’ markets, exhibitions, and live performances. Just around the corner, you’ll find some of the city’s best cafés, wine bars, and casual eats along Cleveland Street, Newtown, and Chippendale.

Whether it’s a pre-meeting coffee or a lazy weekend brunch, Darlington delivers. Favourites like Brickfields Bakery, Something for Jess, and Three Williams are all nearby, along with a mix of local pubs and small wine bars perfect for winding down.

For those who like to explore on foot or by bike, you’ll love how connected the area is. The CBD is walkable, leafy Victoria Park is perfect for morning jogs, and Broadway Shopping Centre is close by for groceries and essentials.

This is inner-city Sydney living at its best: walkable, connected, and filled with character. Whether you're working, exploring, or doing a bit of both, this Darlington Airbnb puts you exactly where you want to be.

The property is approximately 15–20 minutes by car or taxi from Sydney Airport. Taxis and Ubers are readily available at both the Domestic and International terminals, with a typical fare ranging from $35–$50 AUD, depending on traffic.

Train: Redfern Station is just a short 7–10 minute walk away and offers fast access to the CBD (1 stop), airport, North Sydney, and beyond. It’s one of Sydney’s major train hubs, making it easy to get just about anywhere.
Bus: Multiple bus routes run along Cleveland Street and City Road, giving you convenient access to nearby suburbs like Newtown, Surry Hills, Glebe, and Circular Quay. Services are frequent and reliable.
Taxi & Uber: Taxis and Ubers are widely available in the area, and pickup is usually just a few minutes away. Whether you're heading to a dinner reservation, the beach, or a business meeting, rideshares are a quick and easy option.

Nice, clean, and safe house in Darlington

The townhouse is clean, well kept, and comfortable. The AC, internet, and other features worked well. The balconies are a great feature. The townhouse is a fair value given the high prices near Sydney. The location was good for us visiting the University of Sydney (walking distance). It is conveniently located near the Redfern train station, which turned out to be a plus. There are a couple of nearby restaurants including a coffee shop. We were very comfortable staying there for a month. One personal downside is the art, which is bold and not to our taste. Otherwise, it is a solid place to stay.
