Anne-Louise was most accommodating considering we were arriving earlier than expected. The studio was ready for us with an extremely easy check-in process. The studio was open and bright and very well stocked. The bed and couch were extremely comfortable. Instructions on how to use the appliances and blinds were easy to find and understand. The studio is perfectly placed, with many restaurants and stores well within walking distance. The beach was barely a block away and could be seen from the front window. We love to explore new places and this provided us the perfect spot to both explore the beaches and the hiking in the area, the many restaurants and shopping, and to just soak in the local culture. It's an added bonus that the Manly Ferry is only a 10 minutes walk to allow access to Sydney and the surrounding areas, and is so easy and cheap to use. Having the parking space was an added bonus since we didn't know how much we would use the car. Highly recommend.
