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 Dant'e (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 the front door on Norton St or its a 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.

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!

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.

Good location
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.

This is the best homestay I've ever had
Honestly, I can't fault this stay. Nevis and Perry communicated brilliantly, gave us a wonderful tour of the home on our arrival, and were happy to help with anything during our stay. The house itself is huge, with a full kitchen, big bedrooms and comfy beds. The balcony is great for chilling and everything you could need is inside. Location is excellent, great eating spots near by and just down the road from a supermarket. Great location. I can't fault this place or our hosts. I've stayed in a lot of homestay type accomodation, and this has exceeded all of them. The bang for buck is incredible. If this joint is available, book it!

Family holiday in Sydney
3 adults and 3 children 5 and under. Property was well suited to our family needs for the week we were in Sydney. Easy to get public transport around or bike track to city is just there too. The area had everything but surrounds to apartment were quiet (except for our noisy kids). Owners were fabulous and very understanding of our needs eg we arrived early from cruise and they let us leave our luggage before check-in and allowed us to do the same gratefully on our departure as we had a late flight and long wait at airport with 3 kids. Even supplied a few food supplies for us on our arrival which was lovely and appreciated. Fully recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious and we appreciated the kitchen essentials that were in the apartment. Perry is a great host. We took the bus every day into circular quay which was so efficient. We drove to Sydney so the available parking with the apt was very handy too. Thanks for a great stay!

Your Home Away from Home!
Every small detail was thought of in this property. From the moment we walked in to a fresh fruit platter 🍇🥝🍎🍏, complete with a bottle of bubbly 🍾 to the fresh bread on the bench to the shampoo and body wash in the showers there wasn't a single thing we needed to pop out for! The rooms were spotless and the location extremely convenient to shops and transport. Each room was equipped with a TV and plenty of blankets and sheets. We loved the fact that the rooms were below the lounge room so the kids could go to bed and the adults could enjoy the large screen TV while sipping the wine 🥂. The owners were attentive and couldn't do enough for us. The only negative we found was that the property was directly below the flight path however the curfew made for a quiet night's sleep. Overall we can't wait to come back in the future!
