We stayed at Julia's place for a couple of weeks whilst we were between houses. It was perfect for our family of four; it is very spacious, has all the amenities you need (including some lovely extras - chilled jug of water in the fridge, a bowl of fresh fruit, organic shampoo, conditioner!) and it is very clean and comfortable. It is a 10 minute drive to many beautiful beaches (Curl Curl, Dee Why and Manly) and a quick walk to the bus stop into the city. Julia (and her co-host sister Pip) is a fantastic host; very friendly, prompt replies and very accommodating. Oh and that view....wow! Would highly recommend.
