Guests consistently describe the apartment as clean, with mentions of pristine white linen and towels, contributing to a comfortable and well-maintained environment.
The property's location is highly praised for its great views and proximity to the harbour, beaches, and local amenities, although the steep hill and some street noise are noted.
The apartment is generally found to be comfortable and well equipped. However, some guests find the seating limited and the window seat not particularly comfortable.
Facilities are deemed adequate with a well-equipped apartment. The challenging parking situation and early morning noise from deliveries are drawbacks for some guests.

Ms Sparks
There was such a gap between all the welcoming words in the messages beforehand and the reality when we got there that was no soap and only one toilet roll - for four people for a week?! Such a small outlay on those two things, and maybe a couple of tea bags and some milk, would have made the flat genuinely welcoming. It felt mean-spirited, which is a pity as it’s a nice flat and the beds we’re comfortable.

Great apartment in perfect location a few minutes from the beach. Note that the parking is via an unmade road to the rear and is very tight. Difficult in an X1, anything bigger I think you’d need to park elsewhere
