About this listing
What We Love
The Crown, Five is a studio apartment on the second level of The Crown, a restored heritage building of six individually designed apartments on Crown Street, Surry Hills, Sydney. It sleeps 2 guests on a double sofa bed, with a kitchenette, a walk-in shower, a flat-screen TV with Netflix, wifi and a portable heating and cooling fan. Surry Hills' cafés, restaurants and bars are right outside the door. There is no on-site parking.
It suits solo travellers and couples wanting a stylish, well-priced base in one of Sydney's best dining neighbourhoods, corporate guests needing wifi and easy access to the CBD, and longer stays.
The Studio

The kitchenette has a two-plate electric hob, a small fridge-freezer, microwave, kettle, toaster and coffee maker, ideal for breakfast and light meals. A dining table doubles as a laptop-friendly workspace, and the flat-screen TV has Netflix and streaming services.
