The place is spacious and simple. We chose it to be as close to our budget as possible while staying close to downtown Sydney and the beaches.
It is a quirky place, furnished with old, well-worn furniture. There is lots of space yet no dining table. The beds had flannel sheets on them which is strange for summer in Sydney, but the air conditioner works well.
There is a great little breakfast/coffee bar a 4 minute walk away which was great because the coffee maker in the flat is a Nespresso machine. We bought an inexpensive coffee press to be able to make real coffee in the morning.
The owner must be nearby because he was very responsive when we asked questions.
Overall, we had a great three weeks and were happy to be in the Dee Why neighborhood, close to the Manly ferry to downtown to avoid parking in the CBD, yet very accessible to all the Northern Beaches in the area.
