Galician Shore - With Free Parking

10/10 Excellent

"The location of the condo was fantastic. Close to the water, shops and restaurants. It was very clean and perfect for our needs. My only small critique would be that they only provide 2 rolls of toilet paper for our week stay with 3 people and we were expected to purchase more. To me, toilet paper should be a basic staple included in your stay. Again, this is just one small critique. Overall, our stay was great and I would definitely recommend it."
