Extra Information

Set amongst cafes & restaurants, everything is at your doorstep. Come and enjoy the Italian experience.

The Italian Forum, located just off Norton Street, is noted for its traditional design which seeks to emulate the feel of a Mediterranean town piazza. A pedestrian-only central area, the piazza features cafe's and restaurant dining set around a magnificent statue fountain of Dante (the father of the Italian language). The Leichhardt Library and other businesses, surrounded by small shops and boutiques on the level above, are all overlooked by residential apartments. Nearby Norton Plaza is a shopping centre anchored by a supermarket and surrounded by eateries and specialty shops, that's not to mention the magnificent choice of dining and entertainment available along the famous Norton St.

There is everything you need from a supermarket, ATM, cinema, Doctors, chemist, newsagent, post office and much more.

A direct bus route will take you straight into Sydney CBD in about 20 mins from Parramatta Road or it's 800m walk to Petersham Station.

Please contact us for discounted rates on longer term bookings.

We want your stay to be pleasant and comfortable and to ease you into it, we have a bottle of wine and fruit bowl ready for you on arrival.

The entire apartment and area was A+++++. You could not ask for better. Nieves and Perry are solid. My niece lives down the street and I will definitely stay here for every visit going forward. The only thing that I might suggest, no biggie tho, just a small comfort, is to have some sort of blender for my morning shakes. I know, call me spoiled, just saying. Truly, this place is a gem, location location location and also very nice. They provided us a bunch of food gratis too in the fridge and on counter. Such kind folks. Thank you.

Great spot in little Italy

We really enjoyed our stay at the property, finding a generous welcome of food and drink and a location that let us drive or catch public transport all over Sydney. Great local food options and a short walk from the supermarket when eating out becomes a bit much. Will definitely be back the next time we're in town.

This apartment was great for us - two adults and two kids (age 10 and 13). The apartment is in a nice area for walking to the grocery, movie theater, restaurants, etc. also, easy to get into Sydney using public transport. Apartment had what I needed as far as kitchen supplies to cook meals while we stayed there.

Sydney Mini Break

We arrived to the apartment where we found it lovely and clean with supplies of fresh bread, milk and a fruit basket, as well as a block of chocolate. What a lovely surprise. The location was fantastic, buses right there, shops, cafes, everything you need to make your break away easy and hassle free. Check in and out was easy, thank you.

Wonderful Sydney Getaway

We enjoyed our time in Sydney at this spacious and well supplied apartment. It was easy to walk to various restaurants, and not a far drive to get into the city center for sightseeing. The parking garage is a bit of a challenge, but once you get used to the entry system, it is a nice safe place to keep your car. Thank you, Perry for taking care of us!

Excellent property with everything one could need. Great range of teas/coffees/cereals/fruits etc. provided on arrival. Hosts very accommodating. Would thoroughly recommend - just be aware it is on the flight path into the airport but there is a curfew operating thankfully.
