I will not stay again here.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

Shower needs changed. You get either very hot water or very cold water, suddenly. It was hard to mix both. Lot of noise outside the apartment at night. Could not sleep at all. There is no place to stop Taxi or Uber. Uber could not drop us at door step. We had to push our luggage to apartments.

Great for a budget hotel in Darling Harbour. Perfect for 2 nights. Manage your expectations accordingly.
Pros:

A few minutes walk to Darling Harbour, restaurants, sight seeing etc. Parking close by.

Cons:

The property was in okay condition. The bathroom had chipped tiles, paint was chipped, and overall it was in need of some work. However you get what you pay for and I knew what to expect for the price I paid. Also quite noisy from the street especially on a Saturday night (we stayed level 1)
