What We Love
The Crown, Two is a ground floor studio in The Crown, a restored heritage building of six individually designed apartments on Crown Street, Surry Hills, Sydney. It sleeps 2 guests on a comfortable double sofa bed, with a private bathroom with walk-in shower, a kitchenette, a flat-screen TV with Netflix, wifi and heating. With no stairs to climb, it's an easy arrival after a long flight. It sits about 2 kilometres from the Sydney CBD, right in the Surry Hills dining precinct. There is no on-site parking.
It suits solo travellers and couples wanting a stylish, well-priced base with cafés, restaurants and bars at the door, corporate guests needing wifi and a laptop-friendly workspace, and longer stays.
The Studio
Warm timber floors, brass accents and a neutral palette give the studio a relaxed, elegant feel. The double sofa bed works as a lounge by day and a bed by night. The kitchenette has a two-plate electric hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee maker, plus cooking basics and a dining table that doubles as a workspace. A flat-screen TV with Netflix makes for easy nights in.
Bathroom
The private bathroom has a walk-in shower, with shampoo, conditioner, body wash and quality towels supplied.
