Thanks to the apartment’s high location, guests can admire the beauty of the area from above. It enables them to have a great view of the neighborhood. One adult (and a cat!) lives in the apartment. Guests are offered one private bedroom and other parts of the flat are shared. The flat is located within walking distance to cafes, shops, and transport. At the same time, many tourist spots (including the Three Sisters) are nearby. The main advantage of the accommodation is an incredible view from its windows.

9. Art house single room
If you plan to travel alone, try renting this bedroom at a reasonable price. It’s one of the 3 bedrooms in the house, while the second one is also rent-able and the third one is where the host is staying. You’ll get access to a shared bathroom, all the common areas, and a separate entrance. The house is arranged in a very artsy style with lots of pictures hanging on the walls. It makes the place very cozy. However, its biggest advantage is the location. Just a 10-minute walk will take you to the famous Three Sisters Rocks. Katoomba station, bush walks, and the Scenic world are also nearby.
