A beautifully aesthetic room with great amenities alongside a relaxing common room where we had great late night chats. Location was a major plus being so closed to the beach erased the stress about parking. I got to mee some of the locals and staff members who were nothing but lovely.

Great location and very handy for the purpose of my visit . Check in easy , staff friendly .My room was clean and the little balcony was great with a nice outlook . Parking was good Unfortunately the air conditioning was extremely noisy which made it unusable at night so the room became quite stuffy .I found some dirty plates and a take away food container in the microwave left from a previous guest .

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was ok, bedrooms were big enough and living space was sufficient. Disappointed as advertised there was air conditioning but upon arrival none of them worked, called the reception and left a message to have them come check but no response. Overall was a good location and enough space for our family of 6.

Perfect stay and very kind owners

We are very satisfied with our stay. The room was comfortable with AC, practical with dishes, microwave and fridge. The shower is unique and impressive! It is very well situated, 2 minutes walk from the beach and on a quiet street. You can definitely walk from the ferry. The owners are so kind, would definitely go back!

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Don’t have anything positive to say except the location was good for walkability. Check in process was atrocious. Was told I would be staying in location across the street staying on 2nd floor no offer to help with my luggage. Security gate for apartment didn’t work just a gate that didn’t even close. Place was pretty clean, bed wasn’t overly comfortable. My main issue was the noise. Constant construction noise even had the joy of being woken up by angle grinders on Saturday morning 😡

Our stay was great, we booked the day we arrived. The accommodation manager ROXANNE was fantastic. She upgraded us as a family to a two room apartment and helped us out with parking. The room was spotless, just a two minute walk to the beach. We will definitely stay there again. Thanks Roxanne, you were amazing.
