Perfect stay for a solo traveler, located centrally in the Sydney CBD, near both the light rail, bus and train lines. It’s also located a block away from a shopping center with a grocery store, pharmacy, and other eateries. While the building is quaint, the amenities, location and neighborhood make it a great place to base yourself if you plan on exploring Sydney.
