I 've been at Evelyn's place for three months. I felt at home right from the start and absolutely enjoyed very day. Evelyn is very a very warm hearted, lovely and easy person. E.g. she didn't mind at all that I stored my surfboard in the lounge, actually it was her proposal.
The apartment is ideally located. Although being in easy walking distance to busy Manly Wharf, bars, restaurant and shops the neighbourhood is very peaceful and quiet. Manly Beach is in walking distance as well (I went there every day either swimming or surfing) and Little Manly Beach is just a downhill stroll away.
The apartment is neat and tidy, the bed is comfortable and the kitchen well equipped. You can spread out, no need to stay in the room.
I 100% recommend to stay at Evelyn's, 10 out of 10.
