I’ve really enjoyed living at Scape Darlington. The location could not be better, within easy walking distance to the University of Sydney and Broadway, with Coles, Aldi and Asian supermarkets nearby for grocery shopping. My room is bright, quiet and kept in great condition. The shared communal spaces are modern and well‑looked‑after. The on‑site team are polite and quick to respond whenever you need help. I would absolutely recommend this place for students.

I've stayed in Scape Darlington for a whole year now and I've decided to be very transparent about my likes and dislikes about this place. Lets talk about the goods first: 1. The bed, it's really really spacious and comfortable. 11/10 good sleep is pretty much guaranteed.| 2. It's quiet most of the times (BUT there will be occasionally noises at night from nearby houses partying or some people returning late at like 2am-ish and can be noisy) --> Wasn't a big problem for me though 3. Air conditioning (It's inconveniently stuck at 24 degree celsius, but still plenty reliable and more importantly is free) 4. Staff members are very friendly (although they're absent most of the times) 5. If you do your research, this scape is very close to carriage works farm market, 100% take advantage of that (It's only open on Saturday mornings) ------------------------------------------------------- Now let's talk about the bad: 1. Ventilation is horrible, you can keep your window open for 3 days straight and the cooking smell would still linger in your room. Even the cooking smell from other rooms will flow into your room. (I highly recommend getting an air purifier if you're moving in) 2. Washing machine and drying machine is 5 dollars each, 10 AUD total. (I recommend only spending for washing and use a drying rack inside your room because the air conditioner is free --> saves you 500 AUD a year) 3. After people move in, a lot of people will dump their trash outside the bin and the 1st floor will absolutely stink and have cockroaches. (If you're moving in early, the place can be deceptively clean) I'd say the garbage collection truck can be fairly unreliable at times. 4.This is my personal advice as a USyd student. On your road to campus, you will 100% pass through a smoking area and the air quality can be terrible to endure daily. (you can avoid this problem if most of your classes are at the business/economics building)

Scape is a good place to live, the accommodation has good facilities and the staff is very friendly.

The staff at the front desk is warm and thoughtful. They reply to me very patiently and help me solve my problems. The managers of the apartment are also very friendly. For my emails, they read carefully and reply to me at the same time, helping me solve my problems. It is a good check-in experience.
