Description

My home is a one-bedroom apartment (70sqm) in a 1840s heritage building comprising 11 apartments. It has high ceilings, is fully furnished and equipped, a queen size bed, and has a large verandah from which to enjoy a leafy garden. The apartment has WiFi and a Sony Smart TV. The apartment would suit a couple or a single traveller. Note: We currently have no smokers in the building and out of respect to my neighbours, I am unable to accept smokers. The apartment is located in the charming heritage suburb of Balmain East in Sydney’s ‘Inner West’. As it is a narrow peninsular, you will have access to the harbour shores within 1-2 blocks on 3 sides. The nearby ferry links the Inner West to the northern and eastern shores of inner Sydney, and will take you in less than 10 minutes to two areas of the CBD, including Circular Quay for the Opera House and The Rocks, and on to rail networks. There is also a bus service close by that takes 20 minutes to the heart of the city. The inner city Universities are easily accessed via these public transport routes. The Balmain area has a uniquely village-y look and feel and offers great cafes, pubs and a wide range of restaurants within walking distance. There are lovely walks through harbourside parks, as well as boutiques, bookshops, a supermarket and weekly markets in the local neighbourhood. Although this apartment has been my primary residence, I now spend more time on the north coast of NSW with my partner so I am able to vacate the apartment at any time, with sufficient notice. Although I have indicated a lengthy availability, I would prefer short term rentals ie a month or two as I like to use my apartment fairly regularly.
