    Fantastic. Right opposite the patrolled beach. I really enjoyed several cold ones sitting on the balcony watching the waves. Will book again for sure. Three things I would like to mention: (1) Carpet in all areas need a good shampoo. (2) An exhaust hood above the stove with carbon filters and a splash back are missing. (3) Ceiling fans blades in both Lounge and main bedroom need a thorough clean. We all had a great time there.…

The kitchen was well-equipped, and the apartment was really spacious and comfortable. Our only complaint was that the lift was poorly programmed, so at busy times we'd end up waiting for 10 minutes or so to be able to get in. …
