This was our first Airbnb experience and we loved it. Although the flat is small, it is cosy and has all the facilities you will need for your stay. This suited us and our four year old perfectly.
Emily was available on email for any queries we had and she responded immediately. I loved how she opened her home and allowed us to use the kitchen, food, washing machine and even their bicycles.
Even before our stay I asked Emily a few questions and she was able to offer us advice on parking as that's not so easily available and the ferry schedule for Xmas day.
As for the location - wow! You cannot ask for a more convenient location than Emily's. Literally a 3 min walk to the ferry, shops and 5 mins to the beach. Loved it. If you want to stay in Manly and close to everything then this is perfect. If we return we would definitely stay at Emily's again.
