Comfortable and lovely views
We (a couple in our 60s) stayed at this apartment for the last two weeks of August and were very happy with it.
It is a good sized space – larger than we expected, and very comfortable. There was enough space to store our clothes and other stuff. We loved the windows, and opening them up and seeing the sea and the mountains. It was great to be able to open the windows at both ends of the apartment and get a bit of breeze through.
We slept on the IKEA bed chairs and they were comfortable. We opted to move them to the area between the shower room and the settee and keep them out rather than fold them up every night. With a throw and cushions they looked fine (we thought) and didn’t get in the way.
The kitchen isn’t large, but it provided us with all we needed. We didn’t do much cooking but the hob, the fridge and the washing machine all worked fine. There was plenty of hot water for washing up and showers.
If you like modernist minimalism then this is probably not the apartment for you, but we liked the eclectic and personal collection of furniture and objects.
It is located in the old town, a few minute’s walk from the main restaurants and the beaches. Slightly longer coming back, because it is hilly.
A few negatives, though these for us were fairly trivial: the dvd didn’t work; the place could do with a bit of a declutter.
The stairs from the front door to the apartment would be a challenge for anyone who was not steady on their feet. They are quite steep and not well lit.
We had a lovely time, and really enjoyed being in the apartment. We would use it again, and recommend it.
