Relaxing Stay near Fairlight’s Scenic Spots

Apartment looked like in the photos, there was an A/C even though the description specifically says there’s none. Location near the beach walk is nice. The building is old, some doors seemed stuck. The toilet/shower had no latch or a lock, you can only hope no one comes in. The shower drain didn’t work in the beginning because it was full of hair, which we had to clean. If you keep the curtains open all neighbours can see you. What was the worst was the communication from MadeComfy, every response followed the same format which feels very AI with em-dashes, and not helpful at all. Our son fractured their ankle before the stay and we asked to do a bit later check-out for unforeseen medical reasons, the property was empty for the next days. They had no compassion refused outright, sometimes citing the place being booked (untrue), sometimes operational reasons, but it’s clear the reason was money. Luckily our next stay was happy to take care of us, I’m so glad we checked out early.

We had a fantastic stay in this place - the flat was lovely and had some character and charm but what stood out was the location - one block away from Fairlight pools and little beach and easy walk into Manly or going the other way, a lovely walk along the shore. The kitchen was very clean and had all basic equipment, there is a shared washing machine at the back of the building with outside washing line which was very useful. Beds were very comfortable and the lounge is very cosy so we had a lovely time. We knew before hand that no parking on site, and in the streets around it is two hour only, but we found good parking just up the hill on Lauderdale Ave, where it changes to no restrictions, and it was literally 2-3 mins walk, so this worked really well. Would definitely stay again.

The checking was a disaster as the wrong keys were left. it then became very distressing unable to enter & dry hard to communicate with the host as we were initially not believed. It ruined our stay & we are awaiting some sort of compensation as had to fing alternative accommodation on a Saturday evening when it could have been fixed if the host was more communitive
