We enjoyed the apartment and the location so much that we extended our stay at Shannon's place!
The apartment is super clean with a brand new kitchen and a very comfortable bad. Attached to Sunshine Cottage is a little front yard with a lovely big tree.
Shannon was so kind to provide us two bicycles and within 10 Minutes you are at Freshwater beach and Manly beach. A bus stop is located just in front of the apartment and therefore it is really easy to get into Sydney center. Also, "Harris Farm Market" - a great store for picking up fresh fruits and vegetables - is nearby.
Shannon is an excellent host with a perfectly organized check-in and check-out. She is reachable at all times and provides great insights about coffee shops and upcoming events in the area.
