The apartment's proximity to the Manly Ferry wharf, neighborhood shops, and the Corso allowed us to manage well without a car. This did necessitate a lot of climbing -- up some fairly steep streets and the three floors of stairs in the building (no elevator.) Once inside, we appreciated the views and the quiet atmosphere. Also, loved waking up to the sounds of the neighborhood wild birds. The space was comfortable and thoughtfully furnished.

Great 1 bdrm Manly flat

Great location 5 min walk from the ferry & Manly Corso, with a wonderful view north over Manly harbour. Has a small balcony. Well appointed flat overall. Good firm bed. Plenty of hot water. Well equipped kitchen, even includes olive oil & some herbs & spices (a nice & unusual touch). We would be happy to stay there again!
