What a fantastic place and host! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Lyn's place over the new year period and definitely recommend staying here for your visit to Manly. The apartment is located in a nice quiet neighbourhood conveniently located approximately 10-15 minutes walk from the ferry and 10 minutes from the beach. There is a decent hill to walk up to get to the place but we figured the exercise was a good way of offsetting our indulgences at the many wonderful cafes and restaurants of Manly. The place is very clean and tidy with new carpet, bed linen and towels (beach and bath). Lyn was a fantastic host, making us feel very welcome to Manly and her home. She greeted us at the wharf and walked us back to the apartment with a quick tour of Manly along the way. This was fantastic as it just made the whole process easy. Nothing worse than travelling for hours only to have to walk the streets of your destination dragging your bags behind you trying to find your accommodation, so we really appreciated this! We were also greeted to the place with a refreshing bottle of bubbles and a frosty beer from the local micro brewery 4 Pines, which is on the must do list. We highly recommend staying here for your visit to Manly and we will definitely be contacting Lyn next time we visit!
