We found the apartment to be exactly as described. It was warm (winter visit), comfortable and clean. The location was great and the view over the beach and out to the ocean was amazing. From the outside the building looks a little old, but don't judge the book by its cover. Internally the apartment was modern and if not recently renovated it certainly still looked relatively new. The kitchen was fully equipped and contained everything we needed to make our stay convenient and enjoyable. We also appreciated the little touches. Scented candles, tea light candles, leaflets for things to do while in Sydney, bottle of wine on arrival and easy to follow instructions on how to use everything from wifi to floor heating. We would have no hesitation in recommending this apartment for a great stay in Manly.
