We had a great stay at Lisa’s place. We stayed 9 Days and it was perfect for our family of 4. We were so thankful for air conditioning as it was very hot while we were in Manly. There is only one air conditioning unit and it cools the living room space but doesn’t really make it to the bedrooms. However, the ceiling fans were fabulous in the bedrooms which made sleeping cooler. We loved the location to the beach even though we never went in. Unfortunately it was blue bottle jelly fish season and we didn’t want to risk getting stung. There is a great sea pool though to avoid the jellies. It’s about a 15 minute walk to the Corso where you can do all your shopping and have an array of restaurants to choose from. The manly warf is also a 15-20 min walk from the apartment where you can catch the fast ferry into downtown. We also rented a car through “car next door” which was awesome. You basically borrow your neighbors car for a fee and off you go. We drove up to Palm Beach which was beautiful. All in all it was a great trip and Lisa was so accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked and Lisa even had a bottle of wine and chocolates for us when we arrived. We had a fabulous time in Manly and we were sad to go.
