Acceptable, but lacking...

Location and amenities were good. Check-in was simple. View was as advertised. Building Staff are polite. Apartment space is acceptable. Communication with the host during our stay was unacceptable. A Fire inspection was scheduled during our stay and we had no knowledge of it: management walked in while we were getting dressed. Could not locate laundry facilities until day 3 (washer and dry are ancient). Cleaner is not doing their job. Carpets are filthy.

81 Harbourside Studio McMahons Point

This was a wonderful place to stay, overlooking the Harbour and iconic Sydney. Close to transport, cafes and restaurants, Julie’s studio is a quiet retreat with all amenities and beautiful views. Easy check-in and checkout, with supportive staff. We loved it and will definitely return.

Really enjoyed our stay in this studio apartment. The view was impressive all times of day. Ferry on the doorstep for ease of travelling. Enjoyed the harbour side pool area to relax at the end of our busy day. Would stay again.

Beautiful View and Excellent Location

The studio apartment is perfect for 2 people. A perfect view of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House. Also, it is located directly across from Luna Park. It is an easy walk to the ferry and takes you to Circular Quay, where all the restaurants and activities start. There is a quaint neighborhood in a 15 minute uphill walk. Definitely would stay there again. Julie is very responsive and helpful.

Host admits getting nasty comments from prior GUESTS. NOW I SEE WHY!!!

Broken elevator was stranded on the 16th fl. Host's response "I don’t know what you expected me to do? Wave a magic wand or carry you down the stairs? " and "your accusations are greatly unfounded." Eventually conceded, but not before make a list of rude accusations. Very rude. Took no responsibility.

Best of Sydney

The property contained every convenience for our 8 day stay but most importantly the location was fabulous with panoramic, beautiful views of the harbour bridge, Sydney, Opera House and right on the harbour with ferry at the door. Far more relaxing to enjoy the best of Sydney and the harbour. Far, far better than in the cbd. Highly recommended.

The property was exactly as it was listed. It was a breeze getting on the fairies to go into the city. The view couldn’t be any better! Julie responded quickly to any questions I had.
