Paddington is a sophisticated, upscale neighbourhood, located between the CBD in the heart of the city and Bondi on the coast. Understandably it's a good option for anyone who wants to be in the thick of the action, yet also have easy access to the beach. This is the place to stay if you enjoy art galleries, designers and smart little cafes and restaurants from which to watch the world go by! Our pick of the properties here is not extensive, so for a wider choice, check out all our Sydney recommendations.
