A lovely stylish renovated apartment with nice furnishings in a great location a few minutes walk to the main Manly Wharf. However this apartment is in an older building in Manly and in the hub of things so it is quite noisy. It sounds like there are wooden floorboards above and the windows don't seem to be double glazed so you do get a bit of street noise and stomping footsteps from the apartment above mainly in the morning and evenings. The shutters on the windows help but if you are a light sleeper it may not be suitable. The beds are comfortable though and there is a nice gas heater for warmth in the winter!
Communication with the team of Managers was good but we just found it lacked some personal touches that you usually get with airbnb places and instead there was a lot of rules and regulations sent to us. It also seemed like they run a tight ship in regard to toiletries and detergent as even though we booked 3 nights we were only given dishwasher tablets for 2 nights and toiletries (hotel kind of tubes) for 2 nights and a message to say if you want more you have to pay for more toiletries! They have strict check in and check out times as well and you will be reminded of that the day before you leave. The wifi was very slow which is not really acceptable in a place that all up is over $220 a night. Cleanliness overall was very good apart from a few issues in the kitchen which were addressed quickly once we notified the Managers.
All in all we enjoyed our stay but I like to read honest reviews and be aware of the positive and negative issues others have had so hope this helps for future guests when making a decision as to where to stay.
