We (a family of four) stayed at Josephine's 2 bedroom apartment in Manly in June. The place was 2 - 3 minutes walk from Manly Wharf, easy to find and located close to everything we needed. It was clean and blight and was very welcoming. We bumped into one of our neighbours when we arrived and he was very friendly. As one of my kids is still little, I really liked having a bath & shower separate but next to each other in the bathroom. I recommend Josephine's apartment which is a lot bigger and better value than staying at the hotels.
