Not close to tourist areas
Apartment was located outside of Sydney tourist areas. Ferry was close proximity but you had to figure out what one went where. Not as easy as it appeared for those of us not from here. Apartment had no a/c, which was in description, but it was very warm. Host was very easy to communicate with. Location was clean, plenty of room for us and plenty of parking.

Location location locatiom
This apartment was a FABULOUS location- just a ferry ride to anywhere. There were evenings we had walked so much during the day, that we opted just to hop on the ferry to go to dinner back Across the harbor. Apartment was fine for our needs as the other reviews say a little tired and could've used a more thorough, deep cleaning but was short term, quick turnaround clean.
This property is located steps from the ferry pier thereby providing in a fabulous view of the Sydney harbor. The ferry system makes travel to the harbor and city very easy. The apartment was comfortable and clean. My only complaint is that the directions to the property could have been clearer. It is nestled behind a restaurant and another residential complex. We climbed many stairs needlessly.

Excellent location but tired
Very tired including the building. The fan noise in the apartment had to be overcome with ear plugs. If you’re a heavy sleeper you won’t have an issue. The apartment needs a good once over especially marks on carpet. Excellent location with ferry terminal right there.

Great base for visiting Sydney with easy ferry access to Circular Quay and great views
Very comfortable apartment for a couple, with a great view, and access to ferries, shops and restaurants within walking distance. The apartment has clearly been been recently well refurbished and refurnished. The less than excellent overall rating reflects some still to be completed minor maintenance/refurbishment work at the time of the visit.

Location is Perfect, Apartment Adaquate
This apartment is on the water in a peaceful neighborhood, minutes from the awesome Sydney ferry and bus system. Overlook Luna Park and walk outside for a great view of Sydney Harbor Bridge. North Sydney is full of nice shops and boutique restaurants adding to the experience. Julie is an excellent host and very responsive. The apartment has everything you need. No A/C can be a problem on a hot humid day. Some work is needed such as replacing stained carpeting and getting fan/light in bedroom repaired. Also, the pool lounge chairs are moldy and need a significant cleaning. Sydney is expensive and this apartment offers a good accommodation at a fair price.

Weekend in the city
This was a return trip to Harbourside apartments for my husband and me. We love this location, so close to the city which is only a short ferry ride away, but far nicer than staying in a big city hotel. This apartment is spacious and comfortable, equipped with everything needed for a short stay. On the 16th floor, it has good views of Lavender Bay McMahon’s Point, and North Sydney. The owner was quick to respond to any communication from us. Thankyou- we will be back!
