The host and her recommendations were fabulous. She sent us cinnamon buns for Xmas eve.Enjoyed the stay.This property did not have WiFi availability and we were not allowed to use kitchen stove which made our stay a little uncomfortable. We were informed that the listing mentioned it but I may have overlooked this detail.

New Barangaroo metro station makes this area very appealing and more accessible than it used to be. Great little cottage. Living area very small but we didn’t spend much time in house. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedroom (esp main bedrooms) are spacious. Host very helpful.

Lovely accommodation however, they need to replace mattresses at property. Think the mattresses are as old as the property, and they were so uncomfortable. When you travel you look for comfort and this was not the case. Property was lovely also host needs to leave less notes on how everyone should behave at the property it’s off putting.

we loved our stay! Location was amazing so close to the city and harbour. Lovely little cottage loaded with character. The house was clean and our bedroom was comfortable (the heater worked well) Only downside was the stairs which we knew about, just didn’t realise how awkward it would be to get 4 suitcases (our 2 daughters were with us) up to the bedrooms. The living/dining room was tiny but didn’t worry us as we ate out most of the time. Sam was great and allowed us to leave our luggage behind once we checked out so we could explore some more before our afternoon flight. We would definitely recommend this property

Great location

Wonderful spot. Great for transport and walking. Bear in mind the bedroom accommodation is easily suitable for 4 adults/older teens but the lounge/dining is a little compact if you plan on spending a lot of time there.Lovely quirky style (think black, mirrors, animal print, artificial plants)

Miller's Point

It was wonderful to stay in such a character filled home, with lots of period features. The house is in a great location, just a short walk to the harbour and being up high on the hill it had great views of the surrounding area.

A perfect location & gorgeous property

We loved our 4 day stay at Millers Point. It felt very special staying amongst this historic area and was perfectly located for public transport. Sam was a great host and responded really quickly. She was very accommodating with our luggage. The beds were really comfortable. I loved the unique, individual style of the house. We will definitely book again when next in Sydney.

Great location

Nice place with great location, but be prepared to read a lot of rules - lists and by label maker. (Making it a little uncomfortable for some) If summertime, one of the rules is not setting the air conditioning below 72 degrees (F). Host lives on site. There is no internet.
