We had a lovely time at Vara's place in Freshwater. The flat is bright, spacious and well equipped. The location is very convenient, only a few steps from shops and restaurants. It is also just a short stroll to lovely beaches. The bus stop to Manly or Dee Why is very close, too. Vara was a great host. Though we did not meet her in person, she was always easy to contact and arranged everything very nicely for us. We even had a small Christmas tree with presents underneath at the apartment when we arrived! Thank you very much!
