Stayed here for four weeks mid Feb to mid March as a family of two adults and two children. Best thing about this apartment is the location, right next to Manly Wharf, just perfect for the harbour and surf beach, and all the local restaurants. The heat didn't bother us at all despite lack of aircon and some very hot days, and we found the fans to be sufficient. Noise from neighbours above didn't bother us either, but the noise from the street was a different matter. Late at night people walked past talking loudly (mainly at weekends) and on a number of mornings each week we were woken by workmen or regular deliveries/bin collections. This most impacted myself and my husband as we were in the front bedroom overlooking the street and it started from 6am. It is worth bearing in mind that the apartment is at street level so does look out over the streer from both the kitchen and front bedroom, but if you position the shutters upwards, you can still have them open without people looking in. Communication with the host was great and they responded positively and quickly when our sink started leaking, sending a plumber the following day to fix it (despite us messaging them only the night before, so a very quick turnaround), and also to our request for access to a second key given the length of our stay. The one thing that bothered us though was the wear and tear on the places, shutter slat broken in our room, wardrobe knibs hanging off, sofa stains, broken drawer in the wardrobe etc. I took pics and sent them on as soon as we arrived, just to make sure it was clear we weren't responsible. We also realised that there wasn't a full set of anything in the kitchen, eg only one teaspoon, two tumblers (we bought cheap ones and left them there), etc so not fully equipped for four people. There were also items left from previous guests in drawers. All in all, I'd say the owner(s) who we dealt with eg for check in and when the sink leaked, are great and really helpful, but their cleaning service and whoever checks the apartment after guests leave and before next check in , leaves a lot to be desired. Its a shame really, as otherwise it is a lovely apartment and really good value.
