We loved our stay in this apartment - the pictures absolutely don't do it justice and it's more spacious than expected. The kitchen was perfect and very well equipped. The balcony was great and the views of the beach are incredible. The apt is extremely well located - a short walk to the ferry wharf, shops and restaurants and right by the beach... Located at South Manly Beach so a lovely stroll to Shelly Beach. Did not meet hosts f2f but that was fine- they were very prompt with their responses and very detailed instructions were provided for arrival. The apt was comfortable and had a techy tv, ipod docks, laundry, bbq - everything you could possibly need!! We did not want to leave and we recommend this apt to anyone wishing to stay in the area - thanks v much Bec and Peter! :)
