We appreciate the layout of the apartment which suits my daughter and myself very well. Both the kitchen and living room benefit from a bright,sunny aspect. We look forward to coming back next year for another relaxing break.

There had been something in the listing about the laundry room not being available - but we booked very close to our arrival date - this was disappointing as travelling with children... there is always a lot of washing
