Stylish apartment in the heart of Potts Point

Hotel Description

You know what struck me first about this place on Springfield Avenue? It’s actually quiet – and I mean properly quiet, not Sydney-apartment-quiet where you’re still hearing traffic at 2am. Unit 29 sits high enough that you get this nice buffer from the street noise, which honestly surprised me given how central Potts Point is. The building itself has that classic Sydney apartment block vibe, nothing fancy from the outside, but once you’re in the unit it’s a completely different story.

The space feels way more generous than most Sydney rentals – there’s actual room to spread out, and whoever designed it gets that people need proper lighting and decent counter space. The kitchen’s one of those that actually works for cooking, not just reheating takeaway, which is rarer than it should be in these inner-city spots. I loved the little touches throughout, like the fact that they’ve got proper blackout curtains (seriously underrated) and the bathroom has decent water pressure. The styling walks that fine line between looking put-together and feeling liveable – you know how some places are so precious you’re afraid to touch anything? This isn’t that.

Location-wise, you’re golden here. Macleay Street’s buzzing restaurant scene is literally a three-minute walk – I’m talking about places like Cho Cho San and Nel, plus all those little wine bars that make Potts Point such a food lover’s dream. The Bourbon’s right there too if you’re into that scene, though fair warning, weekend nights can get pretty lively around there. What I really appreciate is how walkable everything is – you can stroll down to the harbour through the Botanic Gardens, or head the other way into Kings Cross for late-night eats. The train station’s close enough to be convenient but far enough that you’re not dealing with the chaos. Parking’s typical inner-city stuff (read: challenging), but honestly, once you’re here you barely need a car anyway. I’d definitely stay again, especially for that sweet spot between being in the thick of things but still being able to get a decent night’s sleep.

• A perfect location in the heart of a thriving creative community, close to amazing restaurants, bars and cafes not to me – Georgie from Australia (7/10)

  This lovely, light and airy apartment was very clean and we really enjoyed the location.
  We greatly appreciated the generous gesture of a cheese board on our arrival.
  We can’t wait to stay again.
  Such a well appointed kitchen. The fans were a life saver and while we didn’t use the washing machine it was so useful to know about it for next time.
  Easy access to the keys for check-in, supermarket right in your doorstep.

• Ideal apartment for a short getaway in Sydney – Saad from United Kingdom (7/10)

  Perfect location in the heart of Potts Point. Amenities (super market, coffee shops, bars, restaurants) within a 1-2 minute walk were great. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need to cook own meals at home. Staples such as salt and pepper and cooking oil were welcomed. The building is old and has a lot of character. Bed in the main bedroom lovely and comfortable. Good communication from the owner.
