CBD Executive Apartment right by the Harbour

Very dark and dingy room, staff at the hotel were not helpful at all, no utensils in the apartment. Key card was snapped in half and sellotaped together, meaning it didn’t work well at all and we were stuck for hours not been able to use the lift. We emailed the owner (we did not have a number to call). We explained everything to her and never heard back at all. Very rude. The room itself was nice, but everything else was appalling. The biggest disappointment been the owners communication, or lack of. She was happy to leave an elderly couple in distress, even after they had communicated their issues with the broken key card very clearly. Would not stay there again.

Great location, easy to find. Host is quick and easy to deal with.

The property was quiet, relaxing and spacious, and we found the bed to be very comfortable. Its location is excellent as the light rail is just outside the door taking you to Circular Quay in one direction and the QVB in the other along George Street while its location is central for exploring Sydney. There are several supermarkets and convenience stores nearby which made shopping for some food items quite easy. The owner promptly responded to a couple of queries we had which we really appreciated. We look forward to returning in the future.

I suppose all rentals have their pluses and minuses. Check-in and check-out require the renter to go to an alley about a block from the building entrance, unlock a metal box, and collect the keys. This process can feel a bit daunting if you are, say, arriving at night or leaving early in the morning, and you have luggage to manage. Another minus: tiny bathroom, with intermittent hot water. A plus: convenient location if you wish to be near the beautiful Sydney harbor area, the Circular Quay, and th Rocks. A minus: neither taxis nor Ubers can get within 200 yards of the building's entrance. A minus: the view out the only windows is a red brick wall. Rating: 7.25

The apartment had everything we needed for our short stay in Sydney. Having the in suite washer and dryer was a dream after traveling the 2 weeks prior. The listing is very accurate. The location was perfect. We did not have a car and easily got to everywhere we needed. I highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
