Sydney really is a great place. I’ve unintentionally stayed here for 5 months ( even though it wasn’t 5 consecutive months, i checked out melbourne but it wasnt as good) You got the hustle and bustle of the city life, the relaxed tranquil green areas and some nice historical buildings. Then you get the night life and hostel atmosphere which completes the package perfectly.
