Description

About the Host & Space I am heading off to work with an NGO in India for the summer and am offering my beautifully furnished 50 sqm 1-bedroom apartment located in the heart of Surry Hills. Ideal for visiting academics, researchers, or executive stays, this apartment offers a seamless, welcoming "home away from home" experience for the upcoming summer period (available November through the end of January). Unbeatable Proximity to Universities & Transit Situated directly opposite Central Station, the location makes commuting effortlessly simple whether you are walking or taking public transport to Sydney’s top institutions: - UTS (University of Technology Sydney): 7-minute walk across Eddy Avenue. - University of Notre Dame (Broadway): 12-minute walk. - University of Sydney (USYD): 10 minutes by direct bus or a pleasant 20-minute walk. - UNSW (Kensington): 10 minutes via the Light Rail right outside your door. - Sydney CBD & Harbour: Walk straight into the city, or hop on the light rail or train to Circular Quay in minutes. - Prince Alfred Park: Located right across the road, offering an outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and green open space. - Daily Essentials: Multiple major supermarkets (Woolworths, Coles) and boutique grocers are within an easy short walk. Why You’ll Love Living in Surry Hills Surry Hills is consistently celebrated as Sydney’s creative, culinary, and cultural heartland. Renowned for its leafy streets, heritage architecture, and energetic village vibe, it is home to Australia’s highest concentration of award-winning restaurants, wine bars, third-wave coffee roasters, and indie art galleries. Whether you are grabbing a morning espresso down a quiet laneway, browsing boutique design stores, or enjoying a casual meal at a local institution, living here puts Sydney's best lifestyle experience right at your doorstep. Apartment Amenities & Comforts - Sunlit Living: A comfortable, open-plan living area that flows onto a balcony, ideal for morning coffee or evening unwinding. - Fully Equipped Kitchen & Bathroom: Includes modern appliances, cookware, dishware, and a clean, modern bathroom. - Fast Wifi: Equipped with fast, unlimited Wi-Fi, perfect for research, writing, and remote work. Inclusive Perks & House Rules - All Bills Included: High-speed Wi-Fi, electricity, gas, and water are fully covered in the rent (no local utility accounts to set up). - Fortnightly Cleaning Included: Professional house cleaning is provided every two weeks (including fresh sheet changes and clean towels) at no extra cost. - Availability: November 1 – January 31 (3-month block; flexible start/end dates by ± a few days to match travel schedules). - Bond: 3 weeks' rent refundable security deposit. - Occupancy: Best suited for a single scholar or a couple. - No Smoking Policy: Strictly no smoking anywhere on the premises, including on the balcony (smoking will result in full forfeiture of the bond). - No Pets: Pets are strictly not permitted. NOTE: Sitting directly on Central Train Station places ultimate urban convenience at your doorstep with light rail and train connections seconds away. Being on the light rail corridor, you will hear the ambient sounds of passing trams during operational hours. It is an integral part of inner-city Sydney living, though light sleepers may prefer keeping the sliding glass doors closed at night for a quieter space.
