Everything was just as promised

Cristina
Very nice, clean, and tidy apartment. Perfect location. With a getaway pool. Hosts were engaged in helping us to settle in.

Jo
awesome apartment. Lovely and clean, very quiet, very comfortable. Great location, walking distance to everywhere! Darling harbour, world towers, even circular quay! Could have stayed for a week!

Guillermo
At the heart of Darling Harbour, very well located to do a walking tour around Sydney.
Place was clean and neat, would recommend for max 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids.

Charlie
Fantastic apartment! Everything is as described. Brilliant location in Chinatown, with a lovely pool on top of the complex.

Mingli
The location of the apartment was superb and we couldn't ask for anything better. Really close to all the major transportation I.e buses, trams and all amenities e.g Coles at World Square shopping mall etc and many restaurants around the area too. Great instructions from Tim before we checked in. Only had time to go to the gym once during our stay and it was a pity that we didn't get to use the pool. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to Sydney! Apartment was as described and shown in the pictures and had all the basic amenities to make our stay a great one.

Michael
Tim and Helen were very helpful, the apartment was in a great location, tidy and had everything you could possibly need.
Would definitely recommend this apartment!!
Thanks guys

Ash
I was very extremely surprised as it was much better then I expected. Major comfy bed, great location, Super fast internet, bloody amazing location. I will definitely recommend and would stay again. Hats off for the chique decor, amazing water pressure. Thank you for making our small trip to Sydney much more enjoyable.

Mary
I had a wonderful 6-night stay at this apartment. Tim was super easy to communicate with, both before and during the stay. A minor issue encountered after arrival was dealt with promptly, and with grace. Chinatown is literally just outside the bedroom window, but the apartment is high up enough that it does not get too loud at night. Darling Harbour is a few minutes' stroll away via a bustling footbridge. Overall, I found this a perfect place to base myself for the week, with plenty of good food options nearby. Another huge plus was the fact that this apartment is located within a hotel - this means that you get all the important benefits, in particular 24-hr check-in, access to airport-hotel shuttle buses and luggage storage after check-out. These factors are a luxury compared to standard independent AirBnB locations. Thanks Tim!

Stacie
Very central location within Sydney's CBD. Our host was very helpful especially as it was a fairly late booking. Information and recommendations were all well given upon arrival. Thank you for the pleasant stay.

George
I coordinated a late booking with The LTS Travel Solutions and was impressed by the excellent communication from the host. The apartment was in excellent location, within Chinatown and a short walk from Darling Harbor. The apartment was as described -- clean, efficient, and very well-situated. I highly recommend this apartment!

Chris
Prior to arriving we had great communication from the host all the way up to our arrival. Upon arrival the apartment was just as expected. Great location near plenty of shops and restaurants. China town and market right across the street. Updated amenities throughout the apartment. The sleeping accommodations were great. We used the main bed as well as the sleeper sofa. Great all around experience.

Francesco
Perfect place.. confortable, central and clean. I have been very good there. Host very kindly, polite and honesty.

Ron
My mother, my wife, my 18 months old son and me had a nice stay at Tim's place. Even though it is a small apartment but it is very clean and got everything you need. Superb location, close to everything! The sofa bed is not very comfy, so I think this place is more suitable for couples. Overall, we are very happy staying at Tim's apartment and will come back if travel back to Sydney again. Thanks Tim and Helen.

Robert
A generous sized apartment, well maintained and clean with excellent wifi and a five star location within a short wall to everything Chinatown and darling harbour can offer including then world's biggest ImAX screen (we saw fury ) and hotspot restaurants just straight outside the apartment building. Excellent heated pool and adequate gym . If you are sensitive you may want to bring ear plugs as there is materially plenty of inner city noise. The Windows open which is great but are like
Most Australian units, single glazed so noise can penetrate even when closed. Temperatures were very mild so did not have to use the air con.

Soedomo
Tim is a very nice host. We didn't get to meet tim but everything was organised so well and we were very happy during our stay in sydney. Will recommend people to stay in tim's apartment

Carol
Tim and Helen were great hosts, and very accommodating. The apartment is in a fantastic location--close to George Street, Darling Harbour, Chinatown, Cole's, etc. The apartment was very clean and up to date. Really appreciated the WiFi too! I would definitely recommend this apartment.

Cherie
Perfect location! Conveniently located, within an arms reach of great restaurants and Paddys Market, this is a great place to stay. Friendly and easy to contact hosts, the apartment was tastefully furnished, very clean and had everything you need. Will definitely stay again!!

Thérèse (Tess)
The apartment was comfortable, warm and in a great location.
Check in was easy and everyone was helpful. Loved the shower. It was perfect for our stay.We stayed here at the end of July for 4 nights and found it to be a pretty good location. Paddy's market is just a short 5 minute walk away so get your souvenirs there, and there are lots of restaurants nearby so you won't be starved for food. It's a half-hour walk to Circular Quay, so you can save up on transport costs if you don't mind taking the stroll.
The apartment doesn't have that much room for moving around after the sofa bed is extended, but the space should be just nice for 2 pax. Tim and Helen have prepared a guide to make the stay fuss-free so you know what's available in the apartment and nearby. They were also quite responsive to our emails when we had several questions before the trip.
Just a note - since the apartment is located within a Seasons Hotel, it might seem like a natural thing to seek advice/help from the reception staff, but it's not the best option. We found them quite surly about extending any form of assistance after discovering we weren't hotel guests. Better to call Tim/Helen if you encounter any problems.

K
Great place with a terrific location and so close to everything.
We had a wonderful 5 nights stay here, it was hard to resist all the food every time you get out of the building with the incredible aroma wafting down the street.
We even caught a glimpse of Marky Mark (Mark Wahlberg) when he was at the nearby Event Cinema.
Overall, great price for a moderate size apartment.

A very neat & clean unit. A little worn but well presented. Can't remember seeing a photo showing the shower above a bath, which is not our preference however everything worked well. Appreciated the block out curtains in the bedroom, often lacking. Very handy pick up / drop off bay right in front of the building. Tim was a good communicator & the check in details were very clear and even a handy note for the benefit of a taxi driver was included.

Location to all locations throughout the city via its’ proximity to an excellent public transportation system was key. Cleanliness and size contributed to making things very comfortable.

The property is well located, comfortable and provided for needs. The Seasons Hotel staff were helpful. What I didn't like was: The main light in the bedroom was not working and one bed lamp was too dim. The instruction to remove rubbish to the basement bins was not up-to-date as the bins were not in the basement area. Others obviously also had the same issue leaving their rubbish beside the lifts. Having only one key was awkward and given the instruction that we would need to pay $200 to have it replaced, if lost, was unfriendly. Surely you could provide 2 keys and leave another with the hotel staff. The shower in the bath was hazardous for anyone over 65 and I suggest you install a grab rail on the wall.

Overall it was a great place to stay in. Fantastic location across the street from Chinatown and a very short walk to Darling Harbour. Due to not be able to open any windows, the lack of fresh air was problematic at the start but was rectified soon enough once the aircon was on for a while . Would happily stay again.
