Great location and stunning view
The location on Cook St close to the variety of cafes and restaurants on Glebe Point Road and the short walk down to the Blackwattle Bay ferry wharf made the location ideal plus the added charm of the stunning view from the balcony.

Glorious Blackwattle Bay
Beautiful bay view from kitchen and lounge; lots of greenery and lovely birdsong; user-friendly kitchen with dishwasher, laundry; comfortable bedding; cosy lounge area; spacious bathroom/toilet. Easy bus ride or light rail access to Sydney spots. Near to the renowned Glebe Markets. Many eateries, shops, green grocers. The apartment is a fantastic retreat after the busyness and heat of a Sydney summer. At night, we did reluctantly used the lounge air conditioner to cool the bedrooms, as the summer heat made the rooms unbearably warm. Otherwise, when in the lounge or balcony, the breeze was great. Overall, we highly recommend the apartment. It felt like an oasis.

Warren is an extremely helpful host and his flat is ideally situated for public transport and shops in lovely Glebe. The bonus is the fabulous view across Blackwattle Bay to Pyrmont and the city. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Sydney/ Glebe Oct 2023
We stayed in this apartment from the 1st to 4th of October 2023, we had rented for 14 nights but had to vacate after 3 nights when we got a more suitable accommodation, This property does not resemble the pictures posted on the Stayz platform, furniture is old and a musty smell in the apartment, the Table is old and stained, the windows rattle and bang at night with the wind, this it is an extremely old and dated apartment, it’s on the top floor 40 steps with no lift, I had to bleach 3 of the cups before we could use. They were brown and stained, the Bathroom window screwed open so it can't be closed. Owner/ Manager was not very helpful when contacted regarding issues. Pictures of all concerns were forwarded to him. But he was not interested in our concerns. We contacted Stayz and they said they only advertised the apartment on their platform and were not responsible for the condition of the rental. In our honest opinion it is not fit to be listed on Stayz/Vbro platform.

Glebe apartment
Blackwattle Bay apartment is perfectly located for visiting family nearby. It’s well appointed with everything I needed. The view of the city is stunning. I’d sit and look at it all day if I could. My car didn’t fit in the garage ( the neighbors parked outside theirs, making it difficult to get into the corner garage), but I had no trouble finding street parking.

A central unit in Glebe with a view and easy access to Sydney city
Unfortunately the first two nights were very hot and it was difficult to sleep but we did have several fans a not very effective air conditioner and a cool breeze from the balcony. Apart from that the unit was clean and comfortable well appointed and with a wonderful view. It is great to have a garage and one can use light rail or Buses or walk to the city and local market The apartment is on third floor with no lift but we are elderly and managed OK

Never tire of the view!
The accommodation and facilities are good in the Blackwattle apartment. It has all you need for a comfortable stay. Very convenient for us having a lockup garage! The location is great but the best thing about this place is the amazing view from the loungeroom and balcony... with a slightly different take on the Blackwattle Bay and Sydney city views from sunrise to late at night. To top it off, Warren is a very accommodating host!

Quiet comfortable apartment with great view in central location
We loved our stay at this apartment. There are several flights of stairs but worth them for the view. In an interesting suburb with all ammenities in walking distance and easy transport to city. Very comfortable and a lock up garage. Shower over bath might be difficult for a few. Markets, shops, and restaurants nearby. Two comfortable double beds, laundry, some foods music, TV, wifi, and transport cards were appreciated. Highly recommend. Thank you Warren and Beth.
