The location of this property is amazing, just two blocks from manly beach and a short 10 min to where most cafes and restaurants are located.
However, I felt quite mislead as the courtyard is not private, it is actually a public space where other guests hang their laundry and come to smoke. There are also no lights which means you cannot sit there after sunset.
Additionally, the apartment is much smaller than the pictures looked and was very tight for 6 people. I recommend this property for no more than 4 people, once the sofa bed is unfolded you barely have any exposed floor remaining. The kitchen is very limited and aged, we had to buy our own additional cutlery and request additional glasses. Some basics such as dishwashing tablets were also missing.
The bottom of our feet were black from walking around the apartment, however the bedding was at least very clean. Despite our visit being in October we were quite cold as no doonas were provided just thin blankets and sheets.
The fridge was leaking and there was no hot water from the kitchen tap.
I do emphasise that we stayed the first weekend following intercity travel being opened up so I expect some of these were teething issues after being closed for a few months. The check in process was a positive, the receptionist was friendly.
