We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Manley in this AirBNB. The communication was clear, helpful and accurate. The host Sonia was communicative about expectations but polite, helpful and quick to respond. The apartment itself has this sweeping corner view of Manly beach, and out towards the Manly SLS club and nearby Shelley Beach. On the same block as the Manly mall that connects the ferry terminal on the Harbour to the pacific ocean side of the isthmus, it’s really ideally located. You could very easily catch the Manly ferry from the CBD, roll your suitcases over smooth flat pavement to the apartment on foot in only about 10 minutes, and proceed to have a very fine stay without a vehicle. We had a hire car and each day I was able to park it across the street for free using the resident permit card supplied. I could see my vehicle from the apartment which was somehow comforting for me. There is every kind of amenity close by that you could need - Starbucks, sushi, restaurants, cafes, bars, Coles and fashion stores are all accessible without crossing a single street. Sunrises were the best! Just this glorious wash of golden light filling the living areas, while darkness was still possible in each of the bedrooms for those late risers. We were visited by some cockatoos each morning looking for treats on the window sills. Private balcony for fresh air and to enjoy the ocean view. Three bedrooms cleverly configured with two bathrooms and a separate toilet meant our group of 3 fitted very comfortably, and we could easily have had a family of five tucked away. Shelly Beach was a short 1km walk away and made a great destination each day we stayed. It is on the second floor, so there were two flights of steps, but they weren’t too hard. Nice big lobby outside the door as your party arrives to open the apartment door. Highly recommend this place, would stay again.
