Fran was very nice and lovely person. She provided a welcoming pack with snacks in it, which was lovely. As for the house, you'll practically get a whole floor, a shower room and a deck to yourself. Although, I would recommend for you to be decently dressed when hanging out outside the bedroom, because her daughter did walk up to the Guest floor to get to the top floor at night. Noise level is normal, just like when you're at home and there are other people walking around and doing activities in it at normal hours. There was no unwanted noise in the dead of night which is great. There is a gas stove and a fridge which is convenient when you want to cook in. The stay doesn't come with breakfast but tea and coffee is provided. There are free off-street parking, but quite congested. Beautiful and quiet surrounding. It is in a cosy street, next to a bushwalk trail. .There is a little quiet beach along the track, called The Spit. It would be easier to have a car to get around, but being Sydney, it is a nightmare to get a park at popular destinations. There is also a free shuttle bus to and from Manly, but did not utilise that. Fran also provides an information folder regarding tourists spots and amenities. All in all, it was a wonderful stay for a reasonable price! Would definitely rent here again~
