Had my 3 workers staying at Sophie's apartment for 11 nights while doing work over the northern suburbs. They absolutely loved the front balcony to sit on after work. The fantastic views of Manly beach and being so close to restaurants and shops.One of the guys even went for a swim and used the sauna.
If you want to stay in a lovely apartment close to all the things going on in Manly and having a beautiful view of the beach then stay at Sophies place you won't regret it.
