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!

This property is set in a great location, within easy walking distance of the harbour bridge, opera house, circular quay and 2 minutes from Barangaroo metro station. Great choice of restaurants and bars on doorstep and convenience store just round the corner. The property itself is lovely with well appointed kitchen, small seating area with table, not really big enough for all five of us to eat in but we mainly used the property only to sleep and shower in. There is no WiFi but thankfully we had all bought esims with plenty of data before arriving so this was no problem. The only small issue we found was that there was a lack of sockets for charging phone, hairdryer - the one in the dressing area was marked as do not use which was a bit inconvenient as it had the best natural light. All in all a great property in the perfect location with lovely host - Sam and her dog Max!

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.

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.
