"My stay here is now over and I found a number of disturbing issues with the unit that I have not encountered in holiday units I have stayed in before: Issues: Air-conditioning - there isn't any (very unusual in all my experiences) The price was advertised as under $600, but when I received the receipt, it was just over $1000. They hid the fact that the price was quoted in USD! I am unemployed. pillows - extremely soft. Even with 2 on top of each other one cannot have one's head raised and...

The studio itself was equipped with all needed for a stay, probably way too much crockery in the cupboard for the max amount of...
