The hosts (Jan and Murray) made me feel welcome before I even arrived - communication and coordination of keys/check-in was seamless. If you want to truly experience the 'Kiwi' lifestyle and stay in the heart of the Manly beaches then this is the place for you. The apartment is beautiful and has everything you need (including a BBQ on the back deck). Fast wireless Internet, HD TV with SkyTV service - this place has everything you will need. Easy 5 minute walk up with a beautiful view of the ocean. In less than 5 minutes you have access to local cafe's and grocery stores. Jan was a superb AirBnB host - I really appreciated having the basics ready in my apartment (milk, butter, water, bread, etc.) upon arrival - especially after a 13 hour flight from the states. I highly recommend this apartment - clean, beautiful, great hosts and less than a 3 minute walk to Big Manly Beach.
