Hi - my partner and I are moving out to Sydney for 2 years in October and looking to rent a 1 bed apartment in Manly.

Any advice out there from fellow Manly'ers on where to look or what to avoid?

All advice greatfully received!

Thanks

I suggest you to take rental homes. This is the best option, because in that you get fully furnished house with all needed household things.

Don't know where you get that idea from

Just look in Manly, it is not that big, just one suburb and there is no need to try and narrow it down any further. Try www.domain.com.au.

If you are a party animal try the centre: you see it all there. Drugs, fights, vomit by the bucket, smashed windows - the whole shebang. 24/7.

However, go half a mile out of the centre - an easy walk - it's very different, quiet tree-lined avenues.

Don't go for the centre, as Wol said. We rented a holiday apartment in Wentworth street when we first arrived- one street away from the Corso and were constantly woken up in the early hours by bottles being emptied into/from bins. Avoid the touristy/bar bits at all costs.
