This apartment has definite pro's and cons.
On the plus side is the location. Shops and eateries virtually downstairs, walking distance to the beach and 5 minutes to the Ferry stop. If you time it right you can be in the middle of Sydney within 45 minutes.
The view is excellent. Nice to sit out on the balcony and watch the surfers, waves and storms roll in.
The apartment is stocked with everything you need for a comfortable stay.
The cons:-
A little on the small side but have stayed in smaller Airbnb in Europe so average size based on those standards.
No aircon. The bedroom gets very stuffy and hot despite the fan going.
The bed is only a double so with the above point it gets uncomfortable sleeping 2 in the bed.
There is building work going on across the road. Not their fault but does mean early wake up calls.
We did have to evacuate on our first morning there because of a fire alarm. Once again not their fault but apparently it is a common occurrence.
Overall a good place to base yourself in Manly. 4 stars.
