Lyn's apartment is probably the cleanest airbnb I've stayed in. It was absolutely sparkling. There were nice homely touches of a lap blanket and additional cushions on the couches and vintage furniture that increase the sense of comfort. It really feels like a home rather than a sterile rental apartment. The easterly morning sun through the bedroom and loungeroom windows was a lovely surprise in the morning. Thoughtful touches such as Opal cards and local info show Lyn to be an excellent host. The location is a super easy, walkable distance to the beach, or the Corso if that's your thing, but is also far enough away to avoid the busyness of Manly. If you're looking for a genuine, local Manly experience I'd highly recommend Lyn's apartment!
