Is an apartment a better base than a hotel for a family visiting Sydney?

Ask what the advertised kitchen and laundry actually include. A 'kitchenette' might not let you cook the meals you have in mind, and cleaning or linen fees can change the real price. For younger children, confirm the lift, cot and permitted occupancy rather than assuming a large-looking room works for everyone. Those practical details matter more over several nights than an attractive living-room photo.
