Lovely, quaint apartment
this was a lovely apartment. Was our artistically decorated, very clean, the host was absolutely wonderful and helpful, the living room area is small and we had four people including two big men but we loved this cute little place so much that we didn't even notice the tight fit! It is across the street from from the water, but the apartment itself does not overlook the harbor

Excellent location
From start to finish the whole experience was very smooth. Excellent communication with the host throughout. Location of the property is 15 minute walk from the harbour. Views of the Opera House as you walk down. Great pub across the road which does food. Some lovely restaurants and cafes nearby. Lovely walks around the property too. Excellent views of harbour bridge from the observatory around the corner. Cannot fault the property/location. Property was spotlessly clean and has everything you could need.

Nice clean place. Located within driving distance of the opera house. No wifi and lots of stairs so keep that in mind. Otherwise very nice cute and smaller with a European vibe

Great host and location
Host was great! Went out of her way to help us and allowed us to drop our bags off early. Home is very quaint and in a great location. If you’re skirmish about cockroaches, be aware that there are several. host. Said that is typical for this time of year, but they did freak us out as they were large and flying. We loved the location and our hosts.

Great spot
An excellent location to explore Sydney. Lovely vibrant neighborhood. Interesting as it is a heritage property with so much history. Main living area a bit small, good space up with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths although the beds could be a bit more comfortable. Disappointing that there is no WiFi. Great communication with the host, especially if we needed anything.

Fantastic Find
My two adult children and I highly recommend this Millers Point property. Centrally located with easy access to sights, restaurants, cafes, ferries, shops. The property manager provided all the needed info promptly and professionally, with additional clear written instructions. Fun decor in this historic, unique building. Thoughtfully equipped and stocked kitchen and baths. Climbing steps is a must, as was outlined on the VRBO listing. Hot weather during our stay not a problem with efficient A/C in bedrooms! Loved it!
