The apartment is comfortable, clean and very livable. Being appox 100 meters from the beach, the location couldn't be much better. Close to many restaurants, supermarkets and the ferry to the city, life in central Manly is convenient and entertaining.
Matthew and his two boys are a wonderful team and a pleasure to be around. Matthew and I have had some great conversations over a glass of wine and his love for food, travel and music shines through. He's a great guy.
All in all a fantastic place to stay and I would not hold back recommending Matthew's apartment for short or long term accommodation (I stayed one month).
