My wife and I stayed here for 2 months and it was absolutely perfect for us. Paul and his wife were very responsive and accommodating - they make great hosts :)
The apartment is nicely decorated with some fun pieces that really brighten it up and make it feel like home. It's the perfect size for 2 guests, with plenty of closet and drawer space for storing suitcases and clothes. They have great WiFi that I was able to use for some work and a free washer out back that is easy to use. The kitchen has everything you could ever need (and more) and they even had a bottle of champagne and chocolates waiting for us upon our arrival! The neighbors are all friendly and quiet, and the location is great, with the bus dropping off and picking up right outside of the place every 15 minutes. Of course, you can always walk down to the wharf in 15/20 min if you're not as lazy as we were, so the Manly beaches and nightlife are accessible but the apartment is far enough away to avoid the hustle/bustle when you want.
I would highly recommend this place for a weekender or a long term stay.
