I have been living in darling house for the whole time that I stayed in Australia. Absolutely amazing, comforting and caring place. The staff are just brilliantly friendly and helpful. The access to a gym, coffee and studying space is just what you need as a student. The eatery produces excellent food, including all styles of cooking, from Asian style to Mediterranean style, nutritious and fresh. Location-wise, it takes 5 minutes to walk into the very central area of Sydney and Darling Harbour where you can sit down and witness the glorious view of the sunset. It has everything you need, all you need to do is just move in and enjoy.
