Jarmo’s apartment is everything that’s promised - close to the beach, to the ferry, to a walk through the Corso. When we arrived in Manly from the Circular Quay ferry, it had been raining earlier in the morning, so Jarmo’s son Terje took us to the apartment in his car to ensure we wouldn't get wet. He gave us an excellent tour of the immediate area, explained the features of the building, showed us to the apartment and suggested a couple of local restaurants in the area (Manly Thai Gourmet was a great suggestion and is literally right across the street with delicious affordable eats!) The apartment is in an older building, so there were some renovations going on during our stay, but nothing that was a bother or an inconvenience to us. Note that the elevator is rather slow. But as for the unit itself, anything you could possibly think of (and stuff you’re grateful to find on hand) is there. Feels like home right from the start. Cleanliness was very high, everything was in working order, bed was super-comfortable. We enjoyed our 4 days and if you’re planning on staying in Manly and want a place that’s easy walking distance to explore from, you can’t go wrong.
