Maria was great at making us feel welcome and giving us lots of information on the local area. The apartment has THE best view of the sea, location is amazing and there are lots of lovely touches to make it feel special. It is an older building so can be a little noisy in the morning as the single glazing lets you hear the fascinating conversations of the Manly residents who like to start the morning with a walk and a coffee (at 7am!) BUT this is a good thing as it helps you get the up and get the best of the day. AMAZING location, very friendly and welcoming hostess, would go back in a second.
