OK, this place is slightly weird, but in a good way. Like when you first open the door, you say "Where's the bedroom?" And then when you close the front door, you see it was behind it. I know, that sounds strange, but it has real advantages. First, TWO views of Manly. Not just the front Beach view, but also the back view across the cricket ground. Second, THRU breeze. The lounge-kitchen faces east and while the view is not completely uninterrupted, it is pretty special. Meanwhile, the bedroom-ensuite faces West. Open windows/doors at both ends and you get the sea breezes.
Apart from that, everything in Manly is handy. The apartment is well stocked, fully equipped, clean and tidy. The host met us at the carpark gate and the instructions were clear, comprehensive and easy-to-follow. Likely we'll be back.
