ABOUT THE LOCATION: Rich with local history, culture and sophistication, Potts Point is an ideal place to stay or visit. Situated within Sydney City, just a short 20-minute walk to the CBD and a stone's throw from Kings Cross Railway Station, so you can easily catch a train to some of Sydney's beaches major attractions. Sydney Buses, Taxis and Car Share / Hire are also readily available in the immediate vicinity. Daily visitor car parking vouchers are available on request. ☺ PERSONAL SAFETY? We live in the area with our six-year-old daughter, as does many young families these days. Macleay Street has gentrified over the last ten years, and Potts Point is one of the most on-trend and affluent areas of Sydney. The area is highly populated and using simple common sense it's easy to stay safe. CAR SHARE IS AVAILABLE! Forget car rentals. Highly recommended and right outside the front door are two "GoGet" car-share "pods" and there are more than 20 GoGet cars within a two-minute walk. No need to worry about parking when you get back to the apartment if you sign up for these share cars - parking is free! Foreign licences are accepted, we will give you the address for the information pack and activation card. You should register before you leave home. Search for GoGet car share Sydney. Look for the FAQs. ASK US FOR OUR EXCLUSIVE PROMO CODE TO SAVE THE $50 JOINING FEE! EATING OUT? Dozens of restaurants, cafes and bars are on your doorstep. Plenty is happening in the area, and some of Sydney's best restaurants are a short walk (Otto - at the Finger Wharf, or Macleay Street Bistro, down the road, just two examples). One of Sydney's best new cafes (Room 10 - Voted in SMH Good Cafe Guide) is 10m from your door, and there are loads of great places to eat and drink nearby. Wilbur’s Place (100m) and Bourke Street Bakery (200m) are just around the corner. You’re also just a short walk to the Italian hub of Stanley Street; a 20 min walk into the city, via the Domain and Hyde Park; a 20-minute walk (or less) to trendy Surry Hills. I’ll leave you a list of my favourite eating spots on check in. COOKING IN? The apartment is 100 metres from the excellent Harris Farm supermarket (or there's an even bigger supermarket within 200 metres), and there's a Farmers’ Market every Saturday only 80m walk away. I'll also leave the kitchen all set up with oil, vinegar, etc. so you can just focus on the main ingredients. There's even a high-end caterer - "Sides & Main" - on your street, selling gourmet meals from their shop-front, so if you are too lazy to cook but want to eat in. Too easy. NIGHTLIFE? Everyone knows neighbouring Kings Cross is famous for nightlife, but you may NOT know that its areas (Potts Point, Darlinghurst, Woollomoolloo and East Sydney) include some of Sydney's best areas to eat and drink in, all within a 5-minute walk. There are lots of small hip bars in the area - including on fabulous Llankelly Place, just near your building. You can also walk 10 minutes to Oxford Street clubs, or just 20 minutes to the centre of Sydney (Rocks, Circular Quay, etc.). I'll give you plenty of tips on arrival. If you like your nightlife more serene Govindas lounge cinema is about 5 minutes up the road, the Old Fitzroy Pub (so much character!) has a cheap theatre attached, and a great vibe. There are also numerous other local theatres and cinemas within walking distance. (I’ll leave you a few suggestions for all of this on check in). SIGHTSEEING? Walk to Hyde Park or the Botanic Gardens; the Opera House (probably 30 minutes, via Hyde Park and the Botanic Gardens); or short bus/train to Bondi Beach or other eastern suburbs beaches. Potts Point is in Sydney’s centre but has easy access to beaches, the famous Bondi-Bronte walk, and Sydney Harbour (I’ll leave you tips with my favourite picnic spots and nearby walks). WORKING? Walk into the city, so easy! Potts Point is walking distance to George Street and the main centre of Sydney. The apartment is also about 15 minutes walk UNSW’s College of Fine Arts on Oxford Street, a quick bus to UNSW, easy commute to The University of Sydney. The apartment is a 10-minute walk to St Vincents’ Hospital. There's unlimited wireless internet in the apartment so getting online is no problem. GYM'S, YOGA & PILATES? The apartment is located on the same street as P.E. Dept Gym and Fitness First is 5 minutes away. There are also a few boutique Yoga and Pilates classes in the local area. Just tell us what you want to do, and we will advise you on some of the options. PLEASE NOTE: The Potts Point apartment IS up three levels of stairs. That's 60 steps in total folks. No problem for healthy adults (whoever checks you in will be happy to assist you with bags), but just letting you know... Washing machine and dryer are one level up in the building (coin operated). Plus I've installed a great drying rack in the bathroom in case you want to handwash anything. Yes, there IS a hairdryer! iMac Computer is provided with ADSL2+ WiFi internet, of course! Also unlimited free local calls available on the land-line telephone. If you require extra bedding for the sofa bed and you are not paying for a third guest, there is a one-time $25 surcharge for the additional laundry charges we incur. One-time and not per night. An Infant cot is also available for a one-time $25 fee. We ask guests to leave $25 on the table for our cleaners who manages the laundry services. The extra bedding set for the 3rd guest comprises of 1 x flat sheet + 1 x fitted sheet + 1 duvet cover + 1 x duvet + 2 x pillow covers and pillows. There are also a couple of soft blankets to put under and over the bedding for extra comfort. The location is superb, but the Kings Cross area IS busy on a Friday/Saturday night. This is an action-packed part of town; one reason it's great to stay here. While the apartment itself is quiet, and I doubt you'll ever hear the neighbours, you might hear some noise from the street at night on the weekends. I think the location is totally worth it, but forewarned is forearmed, so they say! Cars - Parking is available nearby but is a hassle, and it's expensive. Daily visitor car parking vouchers are available on request with a fee. Car rental locations are close by and GoGet car share is easy and available close by. Locals walk everywhere or use the buses and trains as the location is central and easy to navigate. If you have a car, I'll give you tips on where to park long-term, and it's less than 5 minutes walk away. Kings Cross train station is only 300m walk away from the apartment. There are windows, but sorry, no view. Although this place is so close to the city you can see the Harbour Bridge from the laundry room (see, washing IS worthwhile), and Centerpoint tower from Orwell Street outside. However you don't need them through a window - they're just walking distance away! Guests have access to everything shown in the images. Umbrellas, power adapters, fans, heaters, sleeping masks, first-aid kits, hairdryers, sewing kits, laundry and the list goes on. Your suggestions are also welcome on how we could improve this holiday apartment. We value your privacy, so we leave you to get on with your visit. We aim to greet, show you what you need to know, answer your questions, and then leave you to it. We are less than 15 minutes away, and if required, we are happy to help. Rich with history, culture and sophistication, Potts Point is an ideal place to stay or visit for those who want to enjoy the picturesque surroundings of a bygone era and still be close to everything Sydney has to offer. Potts Point situated within Sydney City is just a short 20-minute walk to the CBD and a stone's throw from Kings Cross Railway Station, so you can easily catch a train to some of Sydney's major attractions. Sydney Buses, Taxis and Car Hire are also readily available in the immediate vicinity. As for dining out, Victoria St, and in particular Macleay St, are dotted with a range of restaurants to suit all tastes. Kings Cross, Darlinghurst Rd offers a countless number of nightclubs, bars and theatres for those who enjoy the nightlife. Or for the more subdued there are plenty of parks, museums and harbour side charm in the neighbouring suburbs. Plenty of public transport is just outside the door, but walking to the city is even easier than the one or two stops on the train. Most things you need are in the places you expect to find them.
