We have stayed in Louise's apartment in Manly for a week. We haven't got to meet Louise but communication with her was very easy and she had left clear instructions on how to get in the apartment. It's not a big apartment but has everything you need and is very suitable for solo-travelers or couples. Very comfy bed and to have Netflix available was great! The view from her living room and balcony is truly superb! We even got up at 6am in the morning to watch the sunrise! Excellent location right in the middle of Manly with all the shops, bars, cafes and restaurants on your doorstep! The Manly fast ferry will take you to the city in 18min, the 'normal' Manly Ferry is a very scenic boat trip that will take 30min to the city and Sydney icons as the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. The main beach of Manly is only a short stroll of 5min away.
