Nice location and tidy apartment

The house is very quiet and safe even the surroundings have a lot to offer. We used a lot ferry link to the city. Only 11 minutes and so much nicer than roadtraffic. We got the urban and Sea-Sydney at the same time. Communication with Rosalie was excellent all the time. Definitely will go back if we visit Sydney again.

Miscommunication for our stay

Unfortunately wouldn't be booking again. Appears to have been a miscommunication of how many guests I had booked for, being a family of four. Was then sent a payment request following our stay as the owner said we had only booked for one person which was incorrect as we had correspondence leading into our stay that outlined how many guests we had intended on staying. Inadequate linen available. Not sure if this was a Stayz issue or host issue upon our booking. Lovely place and great location though.

Loved Sydney Haven, clean and super comfortable. Fun location with great restaurants and bars in walking distance. Bonus that our accommodation was quiet and mornings and evenings were filled with birdsong. Highly recommended! Thank you for everything.

Lovely peaceful apartment

I have stayed here several times now and as always it is a very peaceful and quiet spot, but just down the road from all the restaurants and shops on busy Darling St. The main bed is very comfortable (I haven’t used the second bedroom) and the apartment is well equipped. Thoroughly recommended!

Well appointed apartment in good location

Well maintained and up to date apartment with plenty of amentities near by and quick access to the CBD. Aircon in both bedrooms and the main living area was appreciated in Sydney summer weather. It's a short walk to lots of restaurants and cafes with a few bars and pubs nearby as well. A 5ish minute walk gets you to a bus stop with regular buses into town, which only takes about 15 minutes. The host, Rosalie was great and communicated well.

Wonderful spot

This is our second stay and we couldn’t be happier. The apartment is a quiet and spacious oasis, but only a few steps away from central Rozelle. There are two bedrooms, a kitchenette and a large bathroom that includes a washing machine and dryer. It is well stocked with everything you are likely to require and there is a supermarket just up the road. I hope to return!

Comfortable apartment, great location.

We really enjoyed our stay in this great apartment in Rozelle. The accommodation was quiet, clean, cool (air con in every room) and comfortable. The location was fantastic, with bus or ferry to the city, and cafés, restaurants, and pubs literally 3 minutes walk away. Rosalie was a accomplished host. We’re thinking of selling our property in the Southern Highlands and moving to Balmain!

Another wonderful stay

Delighted to be able to stay here again during our visit to Sydney to catch up with family & friends, and some theatre shows. Once again, could not fault this peaceful apartment with treed outlook, a few steps from local coffee shops & restaurants, 10 minutes by bus to CBD or 15-20min walk to Balmain ferry. Very thankful for the umbrellas in the hall on one day of persistent rain. Ros is just the best host, with great access instructions and highly responsive to our requests that included an additional family member staying for 1 night of our stay. We look forward to a return visit.
