The location of this holiday apartment is perfect. Set back just enough so you aren't in the middle of the hustle and bustle. There is a good variety store, bakery and my favorite Ground Zero cafe just steps from the front door. Manly Beach is only a minute walk. Public transportation close by (ferry; bus). Lots of variety with restaurants and shopping that you don't need a car. On weekends there are markets set up along the Corso that sell food, clothing, jewelry and gift items at decent prices. I fell in love with Manly and would recommend it to be your 1st place to visit while in the Sydney area.
