Its creative scene thrives on the dozens of art galleries and occasional creative festivals in the area. There are also trendy bars and restaurants on every corner. For a hip setting with easy access to all Sydney has to offer, consider staying in one of these Airbnb vacation rentals in and around Chippendale.

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) Superhost status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and amenities. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on May 16, 2024.

For less than the price of a dinner, you can stay in this private room in a gorgeous apartment close to everything you’ll want to see in Sydney! Up to two guests can stay in this room rental, which shares the bathroom as well as the rest of the apartment areas with the host. The flat has cool and modern furnishings and a balcony that overlooks the brick houses on the street. The Darlinghurst location is perfect for sightseeing around Sydney. A nearby sight that must be on your itinerary is Hyde Park. This is the oldest public park in Australia and feels like an oasis in the middle of this busy city. There are monuments and statues, occasional festivals and events, and plenty of lush grass where you can just rest, too!

19. Chippendale room near Chinatown

Though this room for rent is part of an apartment, the host has gone above and beyond to make the guest feel like they have their own privacy. There is a personal mini fridge inside of the bedroom, as well as a lock to the bedroom that only the guest will have the key for. Guests are welcome to use the other areas of the apartment too, like the kitchen, living room, and balcony. If you don’t mind sharing the apartment with the host, it’s a great place for 1-2 people to stay affordably in downtown Sydney. This apartment is very close to Sydney’s Chinatown, a bustling area with dozens of delicious eateries to choose from. The unique architecture and lanterns give a different feel from the rest of Sydney, and the unique stores and occasional festivals are great reasons to stop by!
