"Very nice - if you have a spare few million tucked away"
This is a gorgeous street with some beautiful buildings. Unfortunately, this fact is not exactly a well-kept secret and so to live in Macleay Street you will pay a huge premium for the address alone. Do it, of course, if it makes you feel good to say you live there, but if you're even slightly imaginative and money-smart you can do a whole lot better by looking a few streets away for similarly Art Deco places that are bigger, sunnier, nicer ... And not price inflated. Why be a mug?
"Noisy, messy, disrespectful backpackers"
Such a pity - Orwell Street used to be so nice. Now it's overrun with cheap backpacker hostels all along it, and it suffers from all the noise, mess, rubbish, and late-night drunken lads (and lasses!) that this entails. Avoid, avoid, avoid.

"The heart of Sydney"
Sydney is iconic ... And Potts Point is an iconic part of that. It's walkable to the harbour, the city, and has easy, decent transport options from here - how about a day in Bondi? But why would you go anywhere else? Best eating, drinking, and going out are within walking distance - Darlinghurst Road, Surry Hills, East Sydney, and the 'little Manahttan' that is Potts Point itself. Great, innovative cafes and newish small bars that you need to be a local to stumble upon. And the architecture of the are is heritage - why live in a 1960s redbrick in the inner west or Randwick when, for a comparable price, you can live in a gorgeous 1920s Art Deco here?
