Edit: The host left us a negative review on Airbnb as a retaliation to this one and is harassing us via messages. Not exactly the professional attitude one would expect for the money we paid. Definitely not the kindest of hosts.

Fancy art-inspired design of the rooms is great (for the most part). They leave things like books and records that take up valuable space that is actually needed for your belongings during your stay. Whether or not a place has a record player (a low quality one at that) is not important, and feels more like a silly frilly reason to upcharge than a practical and smart thing to offer for a temporary stay. The art is nice, and it’s a nice thought to have a picture frame with the artists name and info about the work, but hang it on the wall instead of leaving it on the nightstand where it just gets knocked off. The most annoying thing is there are zero places to hang up long clothing items such as coats, dresses and pants. Only drawers which during a short stay are not ideal (and had hairs in them when we arrived). We wanted to hang our dresses & suits so it wouldn’t get wrinkled but the only place you are able to do this is in the damp bathroom.
All of the beds being on wheels was also super inconvenient. It wouldn’t have been an issue if we had been able to lock the wheels or secure the bed to the wall during our stay somehow. Couldn’t sit in bed to watch TV without the bed rolling away from the wall. Also our bistro table top wasn’t secured to the base; it almost fell on our feet when we tried to move it over a bit. The bathroom is swanky, but impractical as the water splashes all over when you shower and the poor ventilation in the room means your towels and floor mats never fully dry. Also the washing machines are very very loud….The location was top though. Also, the fire alarm went off during our stay randomly and the host didn’t even check in with us to make sure we were ok, nor did it seem there was a system in place that would notify them that it happened. We would recommend booking here if you need to be in the area and don’t mind the aforementioned details being overlooked.

I absolutely loved my recent stay in the Divinyls suite!

The location was great with easy transport links to the beach, to the CBD and lots of key tourist attractions. The room was spotless and the attention to detail was fantastic. I particularly enjoyed the record player with selection of great vinyl and the decor and artworks really made me feel like I was in an Australian property, not just a hotel room that could be anywhere in the world.

Would definitely recommend!

Just stayed at the Rosellla Studio with a work colleague. The wifi was fast and the building and unit very clean. Highly recommended.

A modern, clean and very stylish apartment. It had everything I needed - I could easily have stayed here for many weeks! The place was very comfortable and well equipped. It was very refreshing to arrive to a place where the host has clearly taken the time to consider all the minor details. Krystina was wonderfully accommodating and the check-in is easy.

This was my second time staying at Neighbourhood by NewLife—and I'd definitely be back again! The queen bed is super comfortable, the bathroom is sleek and modern, and boutique toiletries were provided (the lip balm and hand lotion was a nice touch ?). The apartment was nice and quiet, allowing for a good night's rest. You could easily cook a full meal in the kitchenette, but there are a dozens of restaurants within easy reach. Bondi and Coogee beaches are just a short bus ride away—the location is great to explore all Sydney has to offer!

Great rooms, great location and a very helpful Krystina. We stayed as a group to watch the rugby and every aspect of our stay was great. The rooms are modern, neat, clean and very well thought out with extras. The location was walking distance to the sporting grounds and plenty of restaurants, pubs and shopping with in a few blocks.
