"The 2-bedroom loft was very spacious with 2 bathrooms and 2 kitchens. Carpark was secure. There was some noise coming from the toilet which we suppressed by closing the toilet door. There was an old and dirty curtain in the shower which needs to be either removed or replaced. Location is perfect- quiet but accessible to the beach, cafes and shops."
