Perfect location
Sophia's was perfectly located for walking to the key sites in the city, with an amazing cafe round the corner. For us two it was spacious and extremely comfortable. The washing machine was brilliant too. We had a great 4 days here.

Fabulous location!
Property was very comfortable and well equipped. It’s located in the heart of battery points, which is a fabulous area, very near the docks and lots of waterfront activities. Neighborhood restaurants are fantastic and it’s a great area to walk. Bed was comfortable,
Kitchen reasonably well equipped with a small eat in dining area, and parking available. Definitely recommend.
