This property is all about the view - it is both iconic and spectacular. The apartment is nicely appointed and has just about everything you need. But it is small - the bathroom is so tiny it’s almost unworkable - you need to squeeze yourself in to be able to shut the door or get to the toilet - we found this very frustrating and we’re normal sized people. Lavender Bay is a lovely area with some great restaurants.

Best Sydney stay

From the moment you walk in the door you know you are in Sydney with the iconic harbour bridge and opera house right in front of you. The view is sensational and we enjoyed just sitting on the balcony.The apartment is beautifully renovated with everything you need with special touches thrown in . Our host was fantastic giving us lots of tips and was always responded quickly. You are in the middle of everything here with lots of beautiful walks , so close to transport and a huge choice of restaurants . Will definitely rebook on our new Sydney visit.

Spectacular Amazing Harbour Views

Views are just spectacular. Apartment was clean, tidy and with everything you need. Extra touches from the host were much appreciated. Location could not be faulted, we loved McMahons Point. Shops, restaurants, cafes, Thai massage etc. Only negative was no block out blinds to block out early sun rise heat. We will definitely be coming back. Loved it!

Great sitting on balcony to enjoy harbour bridge, opera house and boat craft. Easy convenient access via lift inside secure building.

Lavender Bay bliss

The Studio room was was in a superb location with the most wonderful views from the balcony. Our arrival experience was a bit jerky due to working out the smart tag keys for the parking entry, doors and lifts. Next time we would do it a bit smarter now we know. The range of cafe's and restaurants in the area is extensive and we just couldn't eat any more so will have to come back. Our five nights were most enjoyable and we hope to return again once the weather warms up.

Fantastic Location!

This studio apartment was exactly what we needed for our brief stay in Sydney! It's located in a quiet neighborhood with lots of nearby amenities including restaurants, grocers, bottle shops and pharmacies - but it's just a 10 minute taxi ride or 6 minute ferry ride to Circular Quay. The wharf is a nice 10 minute stroll from the apartment. I can't say enough about the view - the photos don't do it justice. You've got a picture perfect view of the Harbor Bridge, the Opera House, and Luna Park's lights. Postcards have been made of this view, I'm sure! The studio is small, but it had everything we needed for two people. We never saw a single neighbor while we were there; it's very quiet. Check-in was super easy and check-out was even easier. The few times I needed to check in with Jinni, she always responded promptly and helpfully. I definitely recommend this apartment for your future visit to Sydney.

The view was absolutely amazing great area close to everything. The apartment was very clean and tidy. Contact person Jinny is very helpful the downside is Bathroom is extremely small and is not very user friendly as you have to step into the shower to close the door as the toilet is behind the door. The windows and doors don’t seal properly and cold air gets in. No heater for the cold weather only air cooler.

Great stay

My partner and I had a wonderful 3 night stay. The studio apartment is fully renovated including a full kitchen with nice towels and amenities. It’s a secure building, clean common areas and new elevator. Main attraction of the place is a fantastic unobstructed view of Sydney Harbour. There are nearby walks including Wyatt Park and nearby villages of McMahon and Kirribilli. It’s also very close to the North Sydney train station. Eye masks were provided since the place can be flooded with sunlight despite the roller blinds pulled down. Would highly recommend this place.

The apartment is small but perfectly formed! Every little detail has been thought of so the apartment is well equipped with everything (& more!) that you need. Secure undercover parking, easy walking distance to public transport (bus & train) for quick and cheap transport into the city & surrounds, cafés and supermarket in close proximity. And then there's THAT view! Jinni is a wonderful host and has thought of lots of lovely little touches to make your stay one to remember.

This may be a tiny apartment, but it is clean and it has a balcony with the best view in Sydney. Sitting there of an evening, lights sparkling all around you, glass of wine in hand, Rainbow Lorikeets having visited us on the balcony in the day, and Flying Foxes swooping past at night - Pure Magic.

Stunning view

We loved sitting on our balcony each evening to enjoy the view. The unit was just as advertised. I loved the personal touches such as water and milk in the fridge. The bathroom is very small which may pose a problem for larger guests. Checkin and out were very easy. It would have been helpful to know that the key fob was now used to open the front entrance instead of a key as our jet lagged brains couldn’t figure out why the key didn’t work. Jinni was very responsive to all our questions and we appreciated her binder with local information.

Very nice studio apartment with beautiful view of Sydney Harbor. Train, ferry within easy walking distance and if you like to walk, it isn't all that far to walk over the Harbor Bridge to Circular Quay. Everything we needed was close by, building nice and quiet. We would highly recommend for a couple traveling to Sydney.

Amazing location across from Circular Quay

Perfect location for exploring Sydney. We stayed x 4 nights. Host was available for questions and had an easy check in process. Even notified us that earlier check in was available. Extra treats in fridge were muchly appreciated. Bathroom is exceptionally small but location, cleanliness and balcony view made up for it. You can easily access downtown Sydney by walking over the Sydney bridge or tapping your credit card to hop on the Sydney water taxis and 2 different locations. The balcony allowed a beautiful view of bridge and opera house plus the park area below the apartment had lovely walking trails and many varieties of birds. One block up was a grocery and liquor store and many cafes and restaurants. Highly recommend this lovely quiet neighborhood for easy access to the main city.
