Alice's place was a warm welcome after a long overnight flight. All rooms were spacious enough for the four of us, and the amenities were perfect. The apartment is on the second floor, so there aren't a lot of stairs to climb. As a third-generation Manly person, my primary school is 100 meters away, so I am very familiar with the area.
Every evening, we found parking after the Manly visitors dining in the area had left. We also found the Whistler street public car park two blocks away to have affordable overnight parking if the car is removed by 6.29 AM. This wasn't a problem for us as we took full advantage of the fantastic Manly mornings with walks to Shelly beach and around the Bower.
Overall the apartment was very pleasant and comfortable. It is well maintained, has excellent water pressure (which can be an issue in the older three-story walk-ups), and has comfortable beds, nice linen, and towels. The neighbours were quiet, and it was an enjoyable stay, Thank you Alice.
