Grace's accomadation has many lovely extras that made our 5 night stay fabulous. We will return to Grace's again when in Sydney. The area is awesome.
First impression was not this though.
The unit was difficult to find after a bus trip from the Manly ferry terminal. The streets and google walking maps were confusing. You can enter the units from two separate street names. Once there it is an older set of units in amongst some modern neighbouring blocks. A few other first looks were a little put off, fly wire screen torn on the balcony door and some windows difficult to open. However these were only minor things compared to the overall comfy stay.
I rang and text Grace numerous times for confirmation and many different questions. Always quick response with text.
You need to climb 3 sets of internal stairs around the back entrance to the unit. No problem for us. Keeping in mind it is an older block, so wear and tear is obvious.
The locked box for self entrance was simple. Lovely touches of welcome were everywhere. Cheese, crackers, chocolate, chilled champagne, books, games, all kitchen appliances, BBQ, new push bikes, ect ect.
The longer we stayed the more we noticed Grace had gone to alot of effort with extras to make our stay warm, welcoming and comfortable. Apparently we were her 2nd ever guests.
Love to come explore some more as the area, beaches, many different walks, cafes, and Manly are all within a short distance to ride or walk. If you love the outdoors and hills, it's a great place to base yourself.
Thank you Grace. Hope you get many more airbnb stays.
