Doug is very communicative.
The apartment itself is very well located and has a pleasant view of the beach from the kitchen.
The apartment is adequately appointed. It is also fully carpeted, which is not ideal for a beachside apartment and had a damp smell.
I did not find the apartment as clean as I find most of the AirBnBs we stay at.
It is also good to know that there is a lot of noise coming from the street below. We had to keep the windows open at night because it was very hot, but the noise from the street made it difficult to sleep.
That said, our overall stay in Manly was lovely.
