We enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The views were lovely and definitely the highlight of the property. The space itself was fairly simple and had most things we needed for a short visit. It served its purpose as a comfortable base for exploring the area. We didn’t use the pool or barbecue. But they looked lovely. Close to public transport.
Was a real treat staying at Julie’s, was just what we were after for our first visit to Sydney.so close to the city, and the views at night are amazing!!!
This was a wonderful place to stay, overlooking the Harbour and iconic Sydney. Close to transport, cafes and restaurants, Julie’s studio is a quiet retreat with all amenities and beautiful views. Easy check-in and checkout, with supportive staff. We loved it and will definitely return.
Really enjoyed our stay in this studio apartment. The view was impressive all times of day. Ferry on the doorstep for ease of travelling. Enjoyed the harbour side pool area to relax at the end of our busy day. Would stay again.
The property contained every convenience for our 8 day stay but most importantly the location was fabulous with panoramic, beautiful views of the harbour bridge, Sydney, Opera House and right on the harbour with ferry at the door. Far more relaxing to enjoy the best of Sydney and the harbour. Far, far better than in the cbd. Highly recommended.
The property was exactly as it was listed. It was a breeze getting on the fairies to go into the city. The view couldn’t be any better! Julie responded quickly to any questions I had.
The studio apartment is perfect for 2 people. A perfect view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Also, it is located directly across from Luna Park. It is an easy walk to the ferry and takes you to Circular Quay, where all the restaurants and activities start. There is a quaint neighborhood in a 15 minute uphill walk. Definitely would stay there again. Julie is very responsive and helpful.

Very disappointed
We have regularly patronised the accommodation in this block and previously have really enjoyed our stay , especially the wonderful location . However , this time we were very disappointed because the studio was well below our expected standard . The cleaner had done his job adequately and there were no problems there but unfortunately there were too many other minuses:a) dirty and stained blankets ,b) cheap , thin ill fitting bed linen,c)uncomfortable , cheap dining chairs ,one of which was broken and unusable,d)a broken luggage rack, e)heaters which didn’t work.Unfortunately we will have to think carefully before we patronise the place again .

Acceptable, but lacking...
Location and amenities were good. Check-in was simple. View was as advertised. Building Staff are polite. Apartment space is acceptable.
Communication with the host during our stay was unacceptable. A Fire inspection was scheduled during our stay and we had no knowledge of it: management walked in while we were getting dressed.
Could not locate laundry facilities until day 3 (washer and dry are ancient).
Cleaner is not doing their job. Carpets are filthy.
Awesome location and views. Due to no usual access to parking was difficult with luggage and very tight driveway turns.With usual access would be fine but currently a problem and managed to scrape the front of my car leaving.
Iconic Sydney view, Loved proximity to ferries, little bit of an uphill walk to food/cafes. Best Sydney trip so far. Handy to Luna Park and Kirribili markets. Few old appliances and last occupant had left the dishes a bit greasy. Julie was a very responsive host. Would definitely book again.
