“...views, and unbeatable location. It's very comfortable, great couch and bed, and the bathroom with the Aesop amenity is really nice! Huge balcony/terrace with sunrise views, and the air conditioning is powerful which is great during the humid summer days. Communication with the host was easy and the caretaker Angela was very welcoming. The building also has a gym and a tiny pool that faces the other side of the building towards the Opera House and the bridge so the views are also quite something. The area is buzzing with restaurants, cafes, gyms, supermarkets, there's a train station nearby and a bus stop right in front of the building. I much prefer staying there than in the CBD. Looking forward to returning!”

“...stay at Apartment one. The stay was perfect ! Its a beautiful apartment with multiple outdoor areas / balconies. Very roomy for one bedroom and a great location. Check in was very easy. I was met by Rhani on my arrival who went through the apartment with me. I was very happy with the apartment and service and will stay again!”

“...good and the communication with the admin was smooth. A bottle of champagne is delivered in the room, and the decoration style is more welcoming. Kitchen supplies/some of the amenities had obvious traces of use and could be updated.”

“...location is awesome. Stayed here for ~3 weeks (work) and felt right at home. Easy / flexible check-in with a lovely host! The building concierge(s) are also very friendly and accommodating. No complaints whatsoever.”
Jayden Park
“...wasn't a big fan of the neighborhood, but obviously that's VERY personal. If you know Darlinghurst or know what you are doing by staying there... perfect! If you do not, maybe do some research beforehand. Now, aside from where it was, I have to say the apartment was lovely. I hesitated before booking it because it didn't have many reviews and I didn't love the pictures, however I feel like the photos don't do it justice. The place, while it is old, has been completely refurbished and it really is lovely. The furniture is very high end, the kitchen is well equipped, and overall everything was up to my standards (which tend to be high!).”
Blanca Balzola
“...navigate. Unfortunately apartment isn’t particularly well maintained with multiple roof lights not working and wiring exposed. Also, we weren’t informed that apartment was undergoing renovations at the time of our stay.”
Sarah James
“...recommend and would stay again.”
Ian Sadler
“...for families. Very well equipped apartment with the perfect skyline view of Sydney. We enjoyed our stay at this place with family and had the proximity to train stations, food, restaurants and a short distance to the main locations at Sydney. The host and process to checkin/check out are easy and makes for a perfect vacation place. We loved our stay and will definitely visit again”
Vidya Srinivasan
“...this apartment in a very well designed building. The location is walkable to the best bars and restaurants in the Inner East and CBD. The beds were comfortable and the toiletries and towels were of a high quality. We didn't realise the apartment was over 2 levels but this worked well for us. Angela was a very responsive host and met us for check in. We would definitely stay here again.”
Jodie Phillips
“...you Damian for being so accommodating and responsive!”
Farida Mazouzi

“...beds."”
Levi Looke-Santiago
“...Aesop amenities and view of the room. But I didn’t notice the room floor was rattan rug it was quite uncomfortable and not clean with baby. And dining room rug was stained. Except that, most of things were very satisfying. Apartment building was clean and safe with security. We felt safe.”
일모 구
“...bright and spacious apartment right in the middle of the action (you can walk everywhere). The neighbors were friendly. Contrary to other comments I read earlier, going there with a kid wasn't an issue at all. The pool was awesome, the little one loved it. Angela made it super easy for us to check in even though our plane landed at 11pm, and met us there past midnight. She also let us check out later. Thank you! The only thing to be aware of is that the apartment is on a busy street, so pretty noisy early in the morning if you're a light sleeper.”
Tanguy Crusson

“...as it looks. Everything felt brand new and of the highest quality. If looking for a place to stay near the city or surroundings, this one is a must.”
William Silva
“...was very helpful. The apartment is a bit tired and was superficially clean but needed some TLC. Beds Bed linen and Towels were very good. Great location. If elderly folk are looking check the number of stairs and shower is over a bath so one member had to shower elsewhere. This is only a problem if elderly. Not noisy. Perfect location to explore the city. Coral”
Coral Hoggett
“...amazing! The host is so incredibly welcoming and goes out of their way to make sure you have a fantastic stay. The location is perfect, right in the heart of everything, and you can easily walk to the Opera house, Oxford St etc. I can't recommend it enough! I'm already looking forward to coming back the next time I visit Sydney! Highly recommend!”
Adam Mcdonnell

“...”
Jason Beer
“...at Apartment One! The location is fantastic and everything - supermarket, gym, great cafes is within walking distance. The bed is comfy and the apartment has all the essentials, including laundry, oven and stovetop. We were also given a lovely in person welcome and communication on any issues we had was fantastic. Only comment would be that the apartment is a little bit more tired looking than the photos and caption would suggest. The bedroom lights were not working and although an electrician was scheduled to come look at them, they weren’t fixed for the entirety of our stay. Other than that, we loved it, and would consider booking again :) ”
Isobelle Thomson

“...has a bus stop right outside which can link you to Bondi Junction, it is also within walking distance to an abundance of great bars and eateries!! The host is also quick to respond to any questions you may have about your stay. Probably not somewhere to stay with kids as the residents here are very strict on noise. Great place to stay if you’re visiting for the first time. ”
Magnolia Emerson-Faber
“...accommodation for those looking to explore the city and its many attractions. Highly recommend the stay or checking it out for a staycation.

“...here for a week during Sydney Mardis Gras 2017. Overall we were very pleased with the apartment. The location is perfect - 2 blocks from Taylor Square/Oxford Street. The pictures were accurate and the unit was in a nice building. Check-in process was smooth and easy. Our host even provided champagne for us. We were a bit surprised, being from the States, that the unit did not have central air (A/C). The temperatures were thankfully mild during our stay, and there is a good cross breeze in the unit, but had it been during a heat wave, it could have been very uncomfortable. We kept the sliding doors and windows open almost the whole time to keep it cool, but this also meant a lot of street noise filters up, since it's just above street level. The unit was clean, and there was plenty of hot water, clean towels, and good water pressure in the shower. Washer and dryer worked well too. We were not able to use the oven because the temperature numbers were eroded or missing. The upstairs "carpet" was very rough and could use an update. The beds were comfortable and the building felt secure. Neighborhood is very nice with plenty of restaurants, bars, and cafes within easy walking distance. We would be likely to stay here again, assuming the forecast was not too hot. ”
Brennan
“...city and Surry Hills was a bonus and the apartment was as the description said. Having a pet friendly apartment in the city was an extra bonus, as well as a carpark. Make sure to confirm the availability of the carpark prior to booking, as this can change. We enjoyed our short stay and was happy with the property and will stay again when next in Sydney. ”
David
“...spacious and lots of natural light, with great door windows that open to make you feel as though you are outside.”
Kyle
“...2. The apartment is beautifully designed and exceeded our expectations. Contemporary Hotels greeted me and showed me around the apartment; nothing was too much trouble. The added bonus of secure parking and concierge support in the Republic 2 building ensured that all of our needs were accommodated. ”
Samantha
“...Contemporary Hotels made our stay a breeze.”
Annabel
“...The neighborhood is great. Darlinghurst is a great area. The apartment itself was beautiful. Made the stay really comfortable. Great facilities ”
Luke
“...as it looks...and more!! Highly recommended to anyone looking for spacious inner city pad with all the comforts!”
Geoff
“...work and stayed here for a week. It's a very hip place and has a lot of great restaurants and coffee shops nearby. I walked pretty much everywhere.”
DeeJayGee
“...a few nights in Sydney here. The apartment is wonderful with plenty of space to relax and spread out. It's split level with the two bedrooms and full bathroom on the top floor and then the kitchen and hang out area downstairs. The kitchen has everything you would need, the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms nicely done. We were warmly welcomed to Sydney by Richard the property manager. He met us at the unit (he went above and beyond waiting an extra hour for us after a travel delay), walked us through everything we needed to know and shared with us some of his favorite coffee shops/restaurants.”
Aaron
“...stay. The location of the apartment can't be beat for easy access to various areas and neighborhoods of Sydney, 10 mins walk to the central business district, bus stops very close by. While close to everything with plenty of restaurants and cafes around, it's also fairly quiet with lots of trees and birds, a great place to unwind and rest at the end of a busy day. The apartment itself is like what you see in the pictures. The gym is an added bonus, a bit small but with most things you would need for a good workout. There is also a parking space included, which we didn't use but we appreciated the convenience of it. The team at Contemporary Hotels is fantastic. From check in to check out, they were great. Very responsive and quick to help with any issues or requests for information/help, etc. We felt very supported and well cared for during our stay. Thank you!!”
Kim
“...much I loved the apartment. The photos online didn't do it justice! I really can't fault anything about the apartment t itself. It might be helpful to include on the website and TripAdvisor that towels are provided as we ended up packing our own. The aesop toiletries were a nice touch. Our caretaker Carolyn was also lovely and very welcoming. I thought it was refreshing that she suggested we take our time with check out as nobody had booked the apartment for Sunday. I will definitely stay at apartment two again and will recommend it to my friends. ”
Shreya
“...Contemporary Hotel's place in Darlinghurst. Perfectly located for everything we needed during our stay for Mardi Gras. Cafes, dining options, supermarket, Oxford Street, CBD, Circular Quay all in walking distance, some only minutes away. The amenities were great as well. The pool was great to cool down on the hot days, and gym and sauna were handy to have also. The apartment was spacious, light, breezy and a great home away from home. Would definitely recommend and would stay again in the future!!”
Matthew
“...stay in Sydney using Contemporary Hotels. Really positive experience both times. Charlotte and Kieran were amazing, providing fast response to any questions we had. We stayed at Apartment Two for three weeks. Loved the location, close to both the harbour and the city so very easy to get around. Very spacious, lots of light and lovely private balcony to sit out on. It was very hot while we were there but the ceiling fans both upstairs and downstairs did a terrific job of keeping the temperature comfortable. We didn't rent a car as there are so many great places to get to either by ferry, uber or just walking. Would highly recommend this company. They really work hard at finding the right property to fit your price point and needs.”
Barbara and Roger Murray
“...comfortable and spacious. Amazing communication before & during our visit. Pool & gym are a great amenity, as are the little things in the flat. Highly recommend!”
Matt
“...with everything you could need. So close to everything but still very quiet.”
Rhys
“...distance to everywhere we wanted to visit. Richard was fantastic. Our puppies loved it too woof woof. We'll be back :)”
Angela
“...experience altogether. The apartment was very clean and chic. It's seriously in the best location. I walked everywhere. To the CBD where I was working, to all the bars and restaurants in Darlinghurst, Potts Point, Kings Cross and Surry Hills; even to the the gym. Everything was perfect. Whatever questions I had was attended to quite promptly. They were so responsive and accommodating. I would recommend Contemporary Hotels to everyone.”
Migael
“...Darlinghurst. The location is great with plenty of cafes and restaurants nearby for breakfast and dinner, including Bloodhound Espresso and East Village Hotel just a few meters away. The apartment is airy and light, with a pleasant leafy view from the balcony and an interesting streetscape. Aesop bathroom products, champagne, and Nespresso coffee are a welcome extra addition.”
Hayden
“...equipped, very cute and had a great view! Excellent location, close the train station. Good restaurants, bars, grocery stores and even the best gelato in Sydney on walking distance. I highly recommend staying here if you're visiting Sydney! I will book this place again! Hope to come back soon. Thank you for a memorable time.”
Giselle
“...very very nice layout!”
Rie
“...us on arrival even though that was very early on a Sunday morning. The apt. is very nice and as listed - we liked it a lot. The location is great with multiple bakeries and coffee places plus multiple good eateries. It's in a central location and we walked to most city destinations or hopped on a train from the nearby Kings Cross station to CBD or Bondi Junction. Nice !”
Graham
“...Centre of Darlinghurst which is my favourite area in all of Sydney ! Right on your doorstep you have some of Sydney's best restaurants and are walking distance to everything in the city. The host was extremely king and helpful and will definitely be staying here when back in Sydney! Highly recommended ”

Marina
“...really good view and staffs r really nice. I would love to stay here next time~”
Skylar
“...met me personally (I think Kieren is the regular contact) -- both ensured that my stay was great at all times. Even offered some much-appreciated flexibility on check out. The location should probably be slightly adjusted from the pin on the AirBnB map. You are essentially just over from the Coca-Cola sign at King's Cross. Which is a great location. Tons of restaurant/nightlife/cafe options. There's a Coles supermarket just nearby. I was a big fan of the cafe/bakery directly across the street. Mmmmmm. Everything in the apartment itself is premium. I hate mornings, but my time zones were off so was blessed with the sunrise each morning. Great view of the Paddington neighborhood and on to Bondi Junction, with lots of trees rolling away to the horizon. Gym was small but good... and I had it to myself. Pool was a bathtub. (You will not be doing laps.) Other than that, nothing but raves from me. Almost extended my stay just because it was so comfortable, but really wanted to relax at the beach for a few days.”
Patrick
“...Check-in was tremendously easy and everyone was very communicative in advance. Would definitely stay here again. ”
Kyle
“...helpful! The neighborhood is perfect and walking distance from great bars/restaurants.”
Jess
“...of the best Airbnb's we've ever visited. It is centrally located in Darlinghurst, with a wide selection of restaurants just across the street. The apartment was spotless, with an incredible view and every modern convenience, including a concierge downstairs which made us feel very secure. The paperwork required by Contemporary Hotels is proof of how carefully they manage this apartment, and we were happy to comply. Communication was prompt and smooth---absolutely no complaints. We plan to revisit next time we are in Sydney.”
Susan
“...stay! The views are phenomenal and the space was perfect for our group. We would definitely stay here again.”
Susan
“...better view of Sydney harbour than this! This place is perfect with uninterrupted views of Sydney harbour, the bridge and opera house. This isn't the first time I've booked with these fabulous hosts, and they never ever let me down. Always prompt and helpful, I would thoroughly recommend and look forward to booking again. ”
Dylan
“...at The SkyLoft in Sydney! The view from the balcony is simply breathtaking and truly made the whole stay wonderful. The hosts, especially Kieren who welcomed us, were very kind to explain all the workings of the apartment. There were 6 of us, and we stayed very comfortably for 3 nights. The kitchen was well stocked with basic needs, and they threw in a bottle of champagne for us to enjoy! The bathrooms all had clean towels, and Aesop products. The rooms were all quite spacious, and the neighborhood were very central. Check out the Infinity Bakery, and All Spices right across the apartment when you get hungry. Oh a note on the air conditioning however, it didn't really get cool for the master bedroom, but we didn't make a big fuss due to our short stay. But I'm sure they will work on it very soon! All in all we had a great weekend in Sydney and can't wait to get back, and will check out their other places too!”
Natasha
“...views to wake up to every morning when you hit the button to open the blinds. This place worked brilliantly for our family stay in Sydney and I would definitely come back. The open plan kitchen and living room was a wow place to have a family dinner. There are a range of places on the doorstop to get food if you don't fancy cooking yourself. The only disappointment is the size of the communal pool which was more of a plunge pool than a lap pool however this wouldn't stop me highly recommending the place. ”
Gary
“...view and is fitted out with style and finesse . It is a world class apartment for a world class city. Ideal for 3 couples wanting to enjoy the best of Sydney.”
Renae
“...Sydney, it is worth every penny and offers value for money. Everything was on point. FIVE STARS ”

“...and really well managed. We used Sky Loft for a 2 day strategy meeting and it ticked all the boxes. Wonderfully hosted by Contemporary Hotels. ”
Sam
“...holiday.”
Shengnan
“...with million dollar views that will take your breath away. Kieren was also a great host!! The listing was highly recommended!!”
Bond
“...The apartment was as described - quality furnishings, appliances and a view of the city and Harbour to die for. Our host was there to greet us on arrival and checked in with us every couple of days. We had an emergency situation with the lighting but it was sorted out promptly. Great choice of restaurants right at your doorstep, we tried most of them! Thank you, we would be happy to recommend you to our friends”
Omar
“...gorgeous flat. Perfect for a special occasion. ”
Eva
“...in the Sky Loft! Thank you again for everything. It’s a great neighborhood with so many amazing restaurants and shops. As a matter of fact, we had the best Indian food we’ve ever had in our lives just across the street! I hope we can stay here again the next time we come to Sydney. Thanks again!”
Michele
“...convenient for all that east and central Sydney has to offer.”
Ian
“...The pictures don’t do the place justice. The view is really special. The location is great for everything you’ll need. And the communication was simple and efficient. We loved our stay and would highly recommend.”
Martyn
“...location. Really lovely Aesop amenities, a comfy bed, beautiful outdoor spaces and a great kitchen. Right in the heat of Darlinghurst! It is managed by a hotels company who don’t have self check in which was a bit clunky when my travel plans changed. Communication was great”
April
“...in a good building and a great part of town.”
Louise
“...heart of Darlinghurst which offers an array of eating and bar options of the neighbourhood. A building of friendly neighbours who make you feel welcome and comfortable. Could not fault any aspect of our stay."”
