The Neighborhood:
Paddington is an historic suburb which is a favourite amongst locals and tourists. It's famous for its well-known Restaurants, Coffee shops, Pubs (Bars), Art galleries and Fashion shops and the world-famous Saturday Market which has drawn International visitors for over 40 years. It's a genteel suburb very close to the city, so whether you’re young or getting on, conservative or liberal, male, female or LGBT, you can safely walk its streets at any hour of the day or night.
Getting Around:
Situated at the Paddington/Woollahra end of Oxford Street, the Apartment is serviced by an Express Bus services that will deliver you to the bustle of the CBD or transport you to Sydney's iconic Bondi Beach in around 10 minutes. If you enjoy an early morning jog or a Tai Chi stretch then Centennial Parklands, Sydney's Central Park, is just 200 metres from your door. If walking is your style then you can amble down the Paddington Hill to the Harbour foreshore in under 20 minutes. Local brand shopping is a major Paddington drawcard but if you prefer International brands then the Westfields Bondi Junction Mega-mall is just a few minutes away by bus. For sports lovers the Sydney Cricket Ground is a lazy 10-minute walk away and, the adjacent Entertainment Quarter offers a good selection of Restaurants, Bars and Movie theatres from which to choose as well as the enduring Hordern Pavillion which most weeks features an International Touring Band or an Exhibition. For those who take their Cinema more seriously, the Chauvel Theatre and the Verona Theatre Complex are also close by and regularly offer Art House Cinema screenings and International Film Festivals as well as regular first-run movies. And of course once a year the famous Gay Madi-gras Parade takes place just a short stroll down the road. If you are running late for an appointment it is worth knowing that it’s easy to hail a passing Taxi right out the front of our building. Just be aware that Sydney is not like London where the Taxi drivers must have 'the knowledge' of the city to operate. The Street-numbering for Oxford Street recommences just two blocks away from the Apartment at its juncture with Jersey Road so, if you are unfamiliar with the area, always emphasise the PADDINGTON address to the driver or you might find yourself dropped off far from home base in Bondi Junction.
Other Things to Note:
If you are a business traveller that is looking for a quiet but well-serviced location close to the city then you should take note that this Paddington Apartment is one of the few listings that is ACTUALLY IN THE HEART OF VIBRANT PADDINGTON and not in fringe suburbia or in an adjoining suburb. Its Shops, Restaurants and Bars are literally at your doorstep and not an annoying 20 minute uphill walk away.
If you've had a big night out this can certainly make a difference. While you are enjoying a short stroll home window-shopping under the cover of Paddington’s wide awnings your fellow revellers are most likely queued at a Taxi rank drenched in the rain, shoes in hand and with a newspaper draped over their heads. Not the best way to end an enjoyable night out.
Time is money, especially while you are traveling, and the convenience of the location which is well serviced by public transport will certainly save you plenty of both in the long run.
We try and make your stay with us as enjoyable as possible. Entry to the building and the Apartment is by a secure Keypad (the codes are changed for each guest) so you don't have to worry about losing keys or playing key-tag if there is more than one of you staying.
