We stayed here for 1 night prior to leaving Australia. We had previously been in Sydney for 1 week and stayed in the City Centre. First of all, the Meriton was an extremely good deal especially given the amount of space, the cleanliness, and the amenities. It really is an apartment, not a hotel room, and there is a fully-outfitted kitchen as as well as a separate laundry room with detergent included. Excellent for long-term stays but was great for a short stay like ours, too. It was really nice to have an actual couch to sit on to watch TV, etc. There was a convenience store and 4-5 ethnic restaurants nearby (the pizza at the Middle Eastern corner one was fantastic), as well as a DVD rental store (the apartment has a DVD player). The apartment is pretty convenient to Centennial Park and to the Paddington area. Too far to walk to City Centre, though, let alone the Harbor (our hotel in City Centre allowed us to walk to Darling Harbor and even to Circular Quay when we weren't too tired). However, it is well-positioned in terms of cabfare, generally about A$10 to most areas of the city, with fare to the airport <$20 (we didn't realize this and took the train in from the airport, then a cab, very roundabout and well over $30!). The front desk people were very courteous and helpful, as well. Highly recommended!
