Our second stay at Russ' property this year. A comfortable stay in a spacious secure apartment with everything you need. Loved being able to use the pool this visit. Russ' communication is great and very welcoming. Parking bay is an added bonus for this location. Close to everything you need and views of city fireworks in the evening were a bonus!

Good location, all useful amenities
We stayed at the unit for 4 weeks in Feb/March. Russell as a host responded to queries very quickly, and made the checking in and out process very convenient for us. The apartment was comfortable and had all that we needed for our stay. We have some suggestions for improvements that could be made for future guests- the furnishings were tired and the pillows/ mattress covers stained, which could be replaced. It might be helpful to be clear that the balcony faces the very busy street, it is noisy with traffic. The bedroom windows ( which needed a good clean on the outside) faced the pool and at night with windows open the water filtration noises from the pool were quite loud. Overall though this is a good unit in a convenient location and we very much enjoyed our stay 🙂

The perfect experience
Russell is a great host: helpful, reactive, accommodating. The property is perfect for couples and located in a convenient location. Enjoyed every single day in Buchanan despite the lockdown. Thanks Russell, will definitely recommend your apt to friends once borders re-open.

It is a very comfortable apartment. A pleasant walk to Darling St shops or transport and close to the city for an Uber into town. Also, a quiet neighbourhood at night to just stay home and watch a movie.

Quite, peaceful and homely apartment. Everything you need is in the apartment. Great knowing we could park our car in a lockable garage and not on the street. All the other residence were very friendly. Enjoyed our stay. Would absolutely recommend this apartment.

Perfect stay in Balmain
I ended a wonderful trip to Australia and New Zealand with 4 days in Sydney. The trip had been energetic and Russell’s home in Sydney was the perfect finish to the trip. The home is well appointed and beautiful (gorgeous pool, deck for relaxing, laundry, great kitchen and bath), Russell is a terrific host and the neighborhood is the ideal retreat for a weary traveler (good restaurants within walking distance, parks nearby and good access to transportation options).
I am a walker and exploring Balmain was a delight. It is less than 6 minutes to the bus, a little over 10 minutes to the shops/ restaurants of Darling Street and around 15 minutes to the ferry warf (which I visited frequently- the ferry system around Sydney Harbor is one of the best ways to see the area). I cannot think of a single thing I would change.
I ran into Russ on one of my walks and you would have thought he was a lifelong friend. It was a special kind of experience. One I won’t forget. I will plan to return with my wife.
Good on You , Russ! Thank you!

Great Position
Well situated and reasonable tariff for Sydney.
Couple of minor issues noted to the owner which I am sure will be rectified.
Internet and lock up parking included.
Probably needs curtains in lounge/dining area to limit radiation of cold through windows.
Would stay here again.
