We couldn't fault our experience staying for 5 nights at Maria's lovely place. The whole lead-up to our stay was extremely well handled by Maria, who was awaiting our arrival out the front as arranged. She let us in and explained everything about the unit, answering any questions we had. She also gave us a list of her recommended places for eating and drinking in Manly. The apartment was a treat to stay in, sited right on the water's edge, with only the sound of the waves and the happy banter of passing visitors beneath our window - no traffic noise at all! The seawater pool was also half a minute from our door, with Shelly Beach and The Boat House cafe/restaurant just beyond.
Finally, the sea-view looking up the coast from our bay window was to die for!
