The view is even better in person! I spent many hours sitting in the sun chairs outside, or sitting in the living room with all the sliding doors and windows open, enjoying the breezes and watching the water. Sailboats, ferries, birds, water dragons ... it is true indoor/outdoor living. The inside of the apartment was super clean and spacious. The walk-in closet had everything I needed, from an umbrella to beach towels. The kitchen also had everything I needed, including tea and coffee. The business center of Manly is a lovely 15-20 stroll through a very nice neighborhood. The host, Melody, is a delightful person and was very respectful of my privacy. Very very highly recommended!
