This was our very first booking via Airbnb and we were, of course, nervous. We needn't have been. This home was perfect for our needs in almost every respect. It was more than adequate in size for our party of 4 (2 adults and two teenagers), was modern, clean and even has a very comfortable and private back garden which we enjoyed immensely.

Although we never met Denise face-to-face, we had lots of email chatter back and forth prior to our booking, and she was always prompt and helpful, especially regarding our various transportation options and a things-to-do list.

In addition to a very nice home, other positive attributes included bus stops right in front - VERY handy - and a lovely cafe just a block way.

We were so pleased with the home and its proximity to Manly that, in retrospect, we wished that we had reduced our time in Cairns (where we had been just prior) and instead lengthened our stay here.

One last comment: Denise recommended that we use the Manly Express shuttle to come and go from Sydney airport rather than take a train, a ferry and a bus. We accepted that recommendation and are so glad we did. 31 minutes door to door, literally. Thanks for that, too, Denise!
