Extra Information

Set amongst cafes & restaurants, everything is at your doorstep. Come and enjoy the Italian experience.

The Italian Forum, located just off Norton Street, is noted for its traditional design which seeks to emulate the feel of a Mediterranean town piazza. A pedestrian-only central area, the piazza features cafe's and restaurant dining set around a magnificent statue fountain of Dant'e (the father of the Italian language). The Leichhardt Library and other businesses, surrounded by small shops and boutiques on the level above, are all overlooked by residential apartments. Nearby Norton Plaza is a shopping centre anchored by a supermarket and surrounded by eateries and specialty shops, that's not to mention the magnificent choice of dining and entertainment available along the famous Norton St.

There is everything you need from a supermarket, ATM, cinema, Doctors, chemist, newsagent, post office and much more.

A direct bus route will take you straight into Sydney CBD in about 20 mins from the front door on Norton St or its a 800m walk to Petersham Station.

Please contact us for discounted rates on longer term bookings.

We want your stay to be pleasant and comfortable and to ease you into it, we have a bottle of wine and fruit bowl ready for you on arrival.

This is the best homestay I've ever had
Honestly, I can't fault this stay. Nevis and Perry communicated brilliantly, gave us a wonderful tour of the home on our arrival, and were happy to help with anything during our stay. The house itself is huge, with a full kitchen, big bedrooms and comfy beds. The balcony is great for chilling and everything you could need is inside. Location is excellent, great eating spots near by and just down the road from a supermarket. Great location. I can't fault this place or our hosts. I've stayed in a lot of homestay type accomodation, and this has exceeded all of them. The bang for buck is incredible. If this joint is available, book it!

Family holiday in Sydney
3 adults and 3 children 5 and under. Property was well suited to our family needs for the week we were in Sydney. Easy to get public transport around or bike track to city is just there too. The area had everything but surrounds to apartment were quiet (except for our noisy kids). Owners were fabulous and very understanding of our needs eg we arrived early from cruise and they let us leave our luggage before check-in and allowed us to do the same gratefully on our departure as we had a late flight and long wait at airport with 3 kids. Even supplied a few food supplies for us on our arrival which was lovely and appreciated. Fully recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

great apartment
We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was spacious and we appreciated the kitchen essentials that were in the apartment. Perry is a great host. We took the bus every day into circular quay which was so efficient. We drove to Sydney so the available parking with the apt was very handy too. Thanks for a great stay!

About the host

Host profile image
This apartment is our city home and where we lived as our kids grew up and gradually left home on their own adventures. We really enjoy meeting and having people as our guests and allowing others to share in the exciting inner city living that we have grown to love.

Close to restaurants and other attractions Leichhardt is an ideal location for accessing all that Sydney has to offer. The apartment is 3 bedrooms with a comfortable living space spread over 2 floors at the top of the 4 story complex. Palazzo Palermo is to the side and rear of the central Piazza and is away from street noise yet right in the middle of all the action. There is a full kitchen and plenty of room to relax after seeing the sights or after a lovely meal on the famous Norton St restaurant strip.

What makes this property unique

Big cities are sometime overpowering with hustle and bustle. The Italian Forum is akin to an Italian village but within 4kms of Sydney central. The building has a Piazza that is surrounded by apartments that gives the occupants a feeling of Italy in a big city.
Its a very cool place to visit.
