Mary's apartment exceeded our expectations. It is bright and breezy and from the master bedroom you can enjoy beautiful ocean views. Manly Wharf is fifteen minutes away, but we often caught bus 139 on our way back to the unit to save the kids a steep walk. The bus stop is across the road and the bus runs every 20 minutes. What we loved the most about Mary's apartment was to have easy access to Manly and to the city (via a beautiful ferry ride) but also to be tucked away from the hordes of tourists. Mary is a very responsive host who replied very promptly to my numerous messages. We arrived in Sydney late at night as our flight was delayed by two hours and we much appreciated finding fresh milk and bread when we woke up the next morning. Thank you Mary!
