This was the second time that I stayed at Emilia's place this year, and I'd definitely stay again. Emilia is a great host, welcoming and easy to communicate with. My stay was short, but comfortable, clean, well located and value for money.
My stay was for work but if you're there for leisure, there is plenty to do close by. Crystal clear Freshwater beach, the delicious restaurants and scenery of Manly and even the cool brewerys of Brookvale are all within a 5-10min drive.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay with Emilia to my family and friends.
