Spotlessly clean and very well equipped with lots of thoughtful touches. I loved how quiet it was too! Perfect for a short break rather than a longer stay and I would say better for a single person, couple, or two friends. Two couples might be a squeeze in the lounge/ kitchen. I think a more comfortable sofa would be an improvement. However this is nit-picking and should not put anyone off. Walking distance to beach. Lovely balcony with sea view. Delighful outdoor seating area downstairs too. Highly recommended.
