Duffotel Paddington EXEC 2-Bedroom Apartment

Summary:

This Executive Two-bedroom Apartment is newly renovated and is located in the heart of historical Paddington an architectural oasis on the doorstep of the CBD. It's Sydney's only surviving Victoria era suburb and its tree-line backstreets offer a visual smorgasbord of stunning Terrace houses.



Apartment 1 is on the 1st Floor in a free-standing Federation building. 24-HOUR ACCESS is via a Private Walkway with a simple Key-pad entry to the secure Building and Apartment. So NO NEED FOR KEYS.



The Space:

The Apartment is approximately 80 sqm and has three reverse-cycle Air-conditioning units servicing both Bedrooms and the open-plan Living area and provides that all-year-round ambient temperature. However, if your preference is for fresh air then three large glass-louvred windows at the back of the property provide natural cross-ventilation for the whole Apartment.



A light-filled private Landing greets you when you enter the Apartment which runs to a dedicated Laundry Cupboard with a separate Washing Machine and Dryer.



Off to the right of the Landing is a large Family-sized Bathroom in Elba-marble with an oversized Shower-recess, a mirrored Vanity with dual Wash-basins and two heated Towel-racks.



Turning left off the Landing there are two Bedrooms of generous dimensions which are separated by a wide Hallway. They are located at the back of the Apartment away from the street affording you a serene sleep.



The Master Bedroom is slightly larger and has a Queen-sized bed flanked by Side-tables and a full-sized mirrored Wardrobe.



The Second Bedroom is configured to suit a business traveller. It has a large room-width Desk that raises up to reveal a comfortably wide Single-bed. There is also a full-sized mirrored Wardrobe for additional storage.



The Hallway opens to a large Living area with a Juliet balcony which overlooks the street and affords you distant City views. In this space there is a leather Couch and a useful 1960s era Scandinavian Day Bed which serves as a Couch or folds down to a Double Bed if some of your guests decide to stay over. The space-saving Foot-stool also unfolds to provide a further Single-bed if required. All offer a perfect view to a 60 inch Smart-TV connected to Free-to-air Television and Netflix.



A dedicated Dining area sits alongside and has a full-sized Table with six Chairs. There is also a Antique Wine Rack in the corner providing ample storage for the committed drinker.



The Hallway and Dining area are decorated with late 19th Century and 20th Century Watercolours of Sydney and its famous Harbour by recognised Artists which are well worth a study.



The adjacent full-sized Kitchen in Elba-marble has an Island-bench that incorporates a Breakfast-bar seating 3 people while still leaving ample space for food preparation.



The Kitchen comes equipped with an Electric Oven, an Induction Cook-top, a Microwave Oven-grill, a full-sized Refrigerator with Cold-water dispenser and a Dishwasher. There is also a Breville Nespresso Coffee-maker and and Kitchen-aid Food-processor, Cooking Utensils and Cutlery and Crockery for 6 people.

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 young at heart, 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 lure 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 draw-card 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.



Linen fee of 35AUD if you need to use the sofa bed.



Before check-in, all guests are required to complete a security verification process, which includes uploading a valid photo ID and a selfie to confirm booking details. For the home owners security, only guests who are listed on the security form are allowed access to the property.



Australia is a tropical country, from time to time you may see bugs, spiders and insects, mostly harmless. We don't accept cancellations on the above but are at your disposal should you need any assistance. We regularly fumigate the property to prevent unwanted pests.



There is also a building boom going on through out Sydney we don't refund for construction noise if anything is going on in the neighbourhood however if there is works being done next door or in the same building we will have a note in our summary.
