This apartment is located right on the beach, the room having a lovely sea view. However, it’s a small walk (ca20 mins) to the ferry and downtown manly. Manly is great, boasting lovely beaches, cafes and a scenic ferry trip to circular quay- very central in Sydney. Communication with host prior to stay was a bit sporadic. However, check-in went smoothly and Paula was very accommodating once we arrived sharing food and giving us a lift.
