Neighborhood Overview

This is unique part of Sydney to stay in - quiet and safe but with plenty to do, right by the Harbour and within minutes of the CBD. I lived in the apartment for four years, and I absolutely loved waking up to a beautiful Sydney sunrise and the Harbour Bridge, and then watching the sparkling harbour from the comfort of the couch. There are a number of beautiful harbourside parks nearby with excellent views, and Kirribilli Village is just a 7 minute walk away. Here you will find a number of excellent restaurants, cafes, bars and shops (including an excellent boutique Choclatier), as well as the wonderful Kirribilli Markets (on every second weekend), Luna Park, and award winning restaurants such as Garfish (excellent seafood), The Botanist (great cocktails), Batch (fantastic burgers), Street Market (great Asian Tapas style restaurant) Cool Mac (great Japanese fusion cafe) and Ripples Milsons Point - perfect for a casual meal under the Harbour Bridge. There are a number of great cafes wi

Notes

There will be basic provisions in the apartment for you upon your arrival, as well as instructions for the apartment and a guide of things to do/places to eat nearby/in Sydney. Obviously all linen, kitchen items, iron/ironing board and whatever else you need for your stay are provided - just make sure to let us know if you will require the sofa bed so we have all the linen ready. There are a number of unique artworks decorating the apartment of harbour scenes from the surrounding area by a local artist which are for sale - if you’re interested, let us know!

Transit

You can get to the city by ferry, bus or train: North Sydney Ferry Wharf - 400 metres Milsons Point Train Station - 650 metres Bus to CBD (direct to York St, no stops) - 280 metres The Ferry Trip to Circular Quay from North Sydney Wharf is stunning - a 15 minute trip over and a 10 minute trip back. From Milsons Point Train Station (7 minute walk), you are one station (a 4 minute train ride across the bridge) from Wynyard Station, Town Hall (8 minutes) or Central (12 minutes). From Kirribilli/Milsons Point you can also access the public stairs to walk across the Harbour Bridge to The Rocks. The trip to and from Sydney Airport by Train takes 30 minutes, or a Taxi is roughly 15 minutes.

Access

You will have private access to the entire apartment and laundry, plus car space if needed.

Rules

Just common sense really - please leave the apartment as you found it, and not do anything that is likely to disturb the neighbours (no parties)! The building is strictly no smoking, and unfortunately no pets are allowed due to Strata rules. There will be instructions in the apartment about where to dispose of rubbish and any other details like this you might need. Children are welcome though the apartment is not child proof, and there is a balcony (one level above ground). Please be careful on arrival and on returning to the apartment that you get the right building - the next one along is almost identical!

    Compact, well-appointed and equipped flat in top location, near public transport and shops. Eleanor is a very responsive and helpful host too.

    Lovely compact apartment in a convenient location. Close to nice restaurants in Kirribilli and Milson's point train station. Also a two minute walk from the ferry. Everything we needed was in the apartment and Eleanor quickly sorted out any minor problems we had.

    Why would you stay in a hotel when you could stay in this compact but all-you-need apartment in a perfect location just on the north side of the bridge in Sydney? There are great eateries near by (our favourite - takeaway gourmet burgers overlooking the Opera House and harbour), and train and ferry only a few minutes away. Eleanor was very flexible and everything went very smoothly, and her provision of breakfast food and staples was very helpful. Recommended.

    I booked this for family staying in Sydney for my wedding. My family members staying here thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The apartment was comfortable and clean and within a great area for being central whilst also away from the hussle and bustle of the city!! Eleanor communicated well and helped out with all our queries before and during the booking. Thank you!

    My wife and I stayed at Eleanor's apartment for a week - we were met by Eleanor's mum who showed us around and provided us with a welcome pack of food. The apartment is perfectly located with bus & ferry 2 minutes walk and trains only 5 minutes away. Kirribilli village is great for local shopping and eating out. The communal laundry one floor down was very convenient. The view of the bridge from the balcony is a bonus. We would definitely recommend Eleanor's apartment to other visitors.

    Fabulous location. close to ferry, train and every great eatery that North Sydney has to offer. Fabulous apartment. very quiet retreat with the hustle and bustle only a short ferry ride away or 15 mins walk over the Sydney Harbour Bridge and you're in The Rocks.

    We had a wonderful time at Eleanor's harbourside apartment. You really do have a view of beautiful Sydney harbour and the Bridge from her balcony; a lovely spot to sit outside, have a glass of wine and relax. The location couldn't be better - a 2 minute walk to the ferry and within walking distance of the Ensemble theatre, Flying Squadron bar, the cafes of Kiribilli and we even walked past Luna Park round to the restaurants of Lavender Bay. The apartment is cosy and had everything we needed for our stay. Car parking was a bonus for this area.

    Everything about this stay was perfect! While I did not meet Eleanor in person, she was very helpful prior to arrival and communicated in a timely manner. The home was great, it's an awesome location, and was well maintained. No surprises here--just a truly wonderful stay. I spent 30 days at Eleanor's home and would stay there again if I came back to Sydney for a long work assignment.

    Eleanor's apartment is very well situated with great access to the city by train, bus, ferry or even by walking across the bridge. The apartment was bright and comfortable with a nice view. Eleanor is a conscientious and friendly host.

    A beautiful, well presented place in a lovely location. Eleanor is a very welcoming host with a great appreciation of the area and provided plenty of suggestions for what to do/where to go. highly recommend.

    Eleanor's place is lovely and both Eleanor and her mother were great to deal with and went out of their way to make me feel welcome and help me out. The flat is really great - it has everything you need, including an amazing view of the harbour bridge, and the obligatory Sydney fireworks!!

    Eleanor's place was very clean, comfortable and in a great location, the apartment was well equipped with everything you would need for a stay, including a well stocked fridge, comfortable bed and lounge, and a beautiful little balcony with amazing city views! The fans in the bedroom and lounge were very effective and quiet, and the location was so convenient. It was magical taking the ferry from the city to the apartment on my last night. I would definitely recommend Eleanor's home to other travellers.

    Eleanor was kind to let us check in early. House manual was comprehensive. Little disappointed with little fridge space for 6 nights stay. Small area to prepare meals. About shower leakage was told on the day. Mould around screen from wet floor was unhygienic.

    Eleanor's apartment was very cosy and just a stone throw away from the ferries which allowed us to access the main tourist spots like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge easily. We were welcomed by Eleanor's mom who showed us how to access the property with ease. The apartment was perfect for couples and provided a homely feeling.

    We had 3 nights at Eleanor's place and it was perfect. Location, communication, very warm welcome with a fabulous breakfast hamper. The views from the windows and front balcony are stunning and the locality offers really handy restaurants, cafes, convenience stores. A 10/10 apartment/location. Thanks so much Eleanor.

    주택가여서 조용했어요. 너무 한가롭게 지냈어요. 페리 타는 곳과 가까워서 편했습니다. 친절하게 작성한 안내북이 있어서 많은 도움이 되었습니다.

    Great week in Eleanor’s comfortable well furnished and welcoming apartment (accurately presented ) - lots of wonderful little touches -including a generous and well thought out breakfast basket. Eleanor was a first class and friendly host and her information book was a great help .Location was perfect -an easy 5 minute walk to North Sydney wharf - with easy access to Circular Quay and the rest of Sydney The balcony with a view of Sydney Harbour Bridge, was a great and well used bonus for us All in all a great experience for us

    We absolutely loved staying here. Fantastic bridge views. Amazing breakfast hamper. Brilliant guide / tips book. Can walk, bus or catch ttain or ferry to the city. Quiet street. Fantastic apartment in great central location. Good night life in Kirribilli. LOVED IT. Only slight glitch is that the bathroom is an en suite bathroom so if 2 people stay bear in mind you have to walk through bedroom to access shower & toilet and whether you are okay with that.

    A wonderful apartment with a spectacular view of the city. We felt very comfortable during our stay and had everything we needed and more. The apartment is close to shops and restaurants as well as the train and ferry. Enjoyed morning coffee on the balcony with a great view.

    Amazing location, great use of space, beautiful views. Felt very much at home and fantastic to have a lift and parking. I would definitely book Eleanor’s apartment in the future for my family visiting us.

    The apartment is in a good location, only a very short walk from public transport and with a glimpse of the Harbour Bridge. Unfortunately the cleanliness and general kit out of the place was below expectations. Basic things such as utensils were missing and the light in the main room wasn’t working, just to name a few issues.

    The apartment was as described and Eleanor was a great, communicative host. We had everything we needed during our stay and were within walking distance to everything we needed, including the train stations. Would highly recommend staying here if you’re looking for places in North Sydney. Laundry on site was definitely a plus. Thanks again!

    We loved Eleanor’s place! She provided excellent check-in instructions and even left us cookies on Christmas Day, as well as breakfast items. The neighborhoods of North Sydney and Kirribilli were excellent and close to transit. Highly recommended!

    I'm hoping the point of reviews are to help promote both good hosts & guests; helping others in the future. Please be assured this review isn't in spite of my husband's original booking/cancellation made via (Website hidden by Airbnb) which was cancelled days prior to our reservation due to owner (supposably) overbooking! With flights, baby/dog sitter & tours booked, this caused unnecessary stress. Desperately, l searched airbnb for backup accommodation; at peak time/short notice. I didn't think l would have much luck. Surprisingly & unknowingly, I had just booked the same unit my hubby was told was unavailable! It became even more apparent when Eleanor asked if I had used another I service as dates/surname were familiar. Through further messaging (address revealed) it was confirmed l had indeed rebooked the same unit! I was honest with Eleanor and expressed my disappointment and the unnecessary stressed she caused for no reason. Eleanor's excuse, in her words " (Website hidden by Airbnb) seemed dodgy and l 'was going' to contact your husband to book via airbnb but it has worked out well"...Really!? Everything aside, we decided to make the most of it; feeling relieved we had accommodation. I wasn't going to mention this but after our stay, l feel compelled to continue to provide open & honest feedback. I hope others will do the same; not just about this property but others. I was upfront with Eleanor and will continue to do to so to the end. About our stay...good location - nearby restaurants/transport. When organising check in, Eleanor asked us to collect keys from her residence (which isn't just around the corner - it's over 1km away). We requested for cleaner to handover keys which was greatly appreciated. After cleaner left and our return, we struggled to open the front door with lock sticking and then to enter a hot box! There're only ceiling fans to move the air. In January temps; not ideal. Instructions were left on how to operate fan/lights but we couldn't get both working, but thankfully we only got the fans working. If you're thinking about staying here; make sure it's not during extreme hot/cold weather. Every time the shower is used it leaks on the floor & remains wet 24 hrs! Thankfully, info was left in book so we weren't alarmed. The view described was misleading. Yes, you can see the harbour bridge if you 'stand' in the lounge. Windows are high & obscure the view. The balcony also overlooks a car park & derelict units. To see the bridge from here you also need to stand to the top end. The balcony door sticks; concerning with a full pane of glass. An accident waiting to happen. Upon departure, we always empty bins, clean and strip beds. But I was horrified to find yellow stains on the bottom sheet at foot end of the bed..eeew! This really was the straw that broke the camels back! Believe me, we are not picky people, easy going, and all our reviews from other properties/ hosts have been positive. If you want true comfort, functional, a proper view; I definitely do not recommend this unit.
