Manly - Fairlight

We had a long list of properties lined up for Staurday in the Manly - Fairlight area and it was hard work rushing around back and forwards to make it on time. It did not help that they had the Saturday driver on the Manly Ferry. He was late, arrived at the wrong side of the wharf and took ages to park.

We were very late for the first apartment. It was a large 220 square meeter 3-bedroom unit with great views.

Positives: Great views from all rooms, reasonably close to the ferry, very large, double garage
Negatives: $1,100/week, very dated bathrooms, cheap kitchen probably at least 10-15 years old


Then followed a few that were not interesting at all, until this one:

Positives: Modern, tiled floors, great view from the living room, reasonably close to the ferry, double garage, pool, tennis court
Negatives: A bit strange decor, Not as large as the others


And finally we went back to the large one we saw lat week:

Positives: Huge, lots of storage, nice view from balcony, cheaper
Negatives: Single garage, only nice view from outside, grotty carpet, 40-year old kitchen and bathrooms


So, what do you think?
