We were made very welcome by David. He was happy for us to 'check in' early in the morning. The apt was perfect, in a lovely peaceful setting, just a 20 minute walk into Manly. Everything we needed was provided, including breakfast for our first morning.
We were sad to move on from here & would definitely use it on a subsequent trip to Sydney. We will also recommend to friends who have family visiting them from the UK or just looking for a base to explore Sydney from.
