Norma's place is great, and so is she! She was very quick to respond to texts, and she made my whole stay easy and enjoyable. She checked on me regularly via text which I appreciated. When there were issues she was very quick to respond. The apartment is very small, but it was all I needed for my stay. One of the things I really appreciated was all the little extras that add up when you're staying for a short time, such as cooking oil, etc. Norma even stocked the fridge with fresh bread and milk. I love these kinds of touches. While it isn't right in Manly, it is very conveniently on the B-line bus route, so getting around was simple. I also bought a cheap bike on Gumtree for my 2 weeks, and this made getting around the local area even easier. I will definitely be in touch with Norma when I need a home away from from home in Manly again.
