To conclude, it is in a very good location, but I don't recommend it. Location: McMahon Point ferry dock and bus stops are both accessible in both Circular Quay and Darling Harbour, and Train North Sydney Station and Metro Victoria Cross Station are also in a accessible location by bus or on foot. View: Although it has been covered in the front skyscraper, it has a view of Harbour Bridge and the Opera House and you can see some of McMahon Point. Nearby restaurants: There are restaurants and grocery stores and bottle shops just a short walk away. The atmosphere and food were all good except that Delicado didn't have Australian wine. The places included in the host's instructions were also nice. Sights around: Blues Point and McMahon Point are both easy to access on foot.If you walk through McMahon Point to Luna Park and cross the Harbour Bridge, it's a pretty good sightseeing course. Parking: I'm facing the road and it's a bit inclined, but it adapts quickly. The space: It's a bit small.When you go in, it's pretty, but the space for luggage is small. The kitchenware is well stocked. There is a dishwasher and the washing machine is in the bathroom with a dryer. Cons: 1. There is no lift or air conditioner. It was summer, so I repeatedly woke up because it was hot. 2. When I first went in, I saw a lot of dust and hair rolling around. 3. This is the biggest problem, but the drying function of the washing machine didn't work. Even though the drying doesn't start at all and the washing process is over, the combo only repeats indefinitely that it takes time to dry. We had to hang our laundry on the drying rack to dry our entire 18 nights. I was angry and asked for compensation, but they said it was not possible because there was a shared laundry room and drying rack. The common area is dirty, so it can't be used, and hanging it on the drying rack is a problem in itself, but the same answer is infinitely repeated. At the very least, the shared laundry room is on the first floor, the house is on the 4th floor, and there is no lift. Repeat, but laundry is not allowed to be dried. They said they would come and didn't come, and when I called afterwards, they didn't answer, and it was likely that they didn't fix it because they repeated the same answer.

Our stay was magical and I would recommend this location to anyone. Wonderful restaurants, shops, and convenient access to the ferris make the location impossible to beat. The unit matched the description and pictures perfectly. We will stay here again the next time we're in Sydney!
