I stayed at Jarmo's place for a long-term stay while working in Australia for a few months. He was a fantastic host and I really enjoyed the apartment. The location is unbeatable-just two blocks from the beach and close to everything you could need. It's so nice to wake up on weekends to the Manly market just steps from the apartment. The place is well set up with everything you could need from toiletries to kitchen supplies to entertainment (the place comes with Netflix and a Bluetooth audio system, which is a nice touch). The bed is also very comfortable and it's nice to have a small air conditioning unit on hot days. The street noise is minimal but sometimes there can be noise from other apartments because the walls are thin. Overall, I'd strongly recommend staying at Jarmo's! You will have a great experience!
