Historic Boutique Apartment Steps From Everything

Summary:
Just steps from Sydney’s famed Oxford St, this two-bedroom apartment in a historic sandstone building offers an unrivalled marriage of elegance and convenience. Not only is the city within walking distance, the trendy neighbourhoods of Surry Hills, Darlinghurst and Paddington are on your doorstep. There’s no end to the restaurants, pubs and boutiques you could visit, but you could also relax with a glass of wine on the leafy balcony while enjoying the unit’s heritage touches and stylish design.

The Space:
Located inside historic Pelican House on the edge of Taylor Square, this first-floor, two-bedroom apartment is inner-city living at its best. Heritage features abound throughout, including high ceilings, exposed sandstone and a decorative fireplace. The leafy balcony means there’s lots of fresh air. There is one flight of stairs from street level to the property.

The Neighborhood:
A bohemian paradise on the eastern edge of the CBD, Darlinghurst offers some of Sydney's best dining, coffee culture, nightlife, art galleries and boutique shopping. Formerly an underworld haunt, the suburb is now one of Sydney's most queer-friendly, and plays host to a vibrant community of young professionals living in renovated Victorian terraces and contemporary apartments.

Getting Around:
We highly recommend using ride-sharing services.
Check out the TripGo app for transport timetables.

Public transport
Almost everything is within walking distance, but buses to the city leave from Oxford St, just around the corner.

Ride sharing
Ride sharing apps are a safe and easy way to get around, especially later at night when public transport services are less frequent. Prices are about two-thirds that of taking a taxi, but may surge during bad weather or public events.

Lovely place to stay
Loved the location of this very clean, comfortable and spacious property with everything needed provided. The outdoor balcony was very relaxing to sit out on at the end of a day exploring the city and neighbourhood and many great places to eat nearby.

Very comfortable property in an excellent location
We were very satisfied with the property. It is in a fabulous location and, in general, it was well equipped. It is ideal for a small family group or two couples.

Perfect city apartment
This apartment was prefect for a short few days in the city. Very close to everything around Surry Hills & Darlinghurst. The apartment was very pleasent inside.. and it was an added bonus having the rear outside verandah. I would definitely stay here again.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Super interior, ok location, noisy and not ok cleaned
Very tastefully deco apartment with ok location on the edge of Surry Hills. Nicer area would be more center of Surry Hills. Easy arrival procedure. Smelly narrow and old staircase to apartment. One bedroom very noisy from street traffic. In the living room there was a huge opened cardboard box with a TV in! As staying for 7 nights over x-mas so we stashed this huge heavy box in a cupboard!! On the surface all looked clean. BUT the toilet had not been cleaned :-( the glass shelf in shower was layered with former guests shampoo! :-( there was very dusty everywhere - the glass tabel was wiped with a dirty cloth. The kitchen was spotless though. Large bath towels and one very small hand towel. If you were lucky the shower had warm water.. Only sometimes able to wash yr hair in warm water is just not good enough. The apartment is above a restaurant, no problem with noise. But with food smell from kitchen below you were not able to have open doors to balcony in the evening. Not much use of the balcony. The chairs layered in...beer?? I wrote to Vrbo about the uncleaned toilet at arrival - no answer! Before Sydney we stayed in Melbourne and I would have booked through Vrbo but the price on the site was wrong - wrote to Vrbo several times - NO ANSWER. So booked with market leader instead - So this is my last booking with Vrbo. I usually like to support alternatives to the bigger techs/platforms. Forgot to mention the cockroaches in the livingroom!! Conclusion: Completely overpriced.
