To put it plainly...Maria's apt was awesome!! Our family of 5 had the most amazing stay and this little place more than lived up to the hype for us and our children. With snorkeling right outside the apt (gear provided by Maria), days relaxing on shelly beach, on the rooftop, and of course people watching from the window with the breeze blowing through the apartment while enjoying all of the hustle and bustle on the esplanade below. There is just so much to do for everyone, young and old. The quick walk to the Corso was short and enjoyable and the food options are plentiful including a cafe right below you. I simply cannot say enough great things about our stay here.....and Manly in general.
