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.

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.

Sensational iconic view

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.

Best of Sydney

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.
