The views were stunning so didnât bother us that the weather made us retreat back early most days.Was slightly concerned we may have heard people in the other apartments but didnât hear them once.Only problem was TV signal was not working on arrival but big shout out to Ethan((think he worked for the property maintenance) who went above and beyond to get us watching through the internet within 30 mins until engineer came out a few days later to fix it.Maybe be a bit small if 4 adults were staying but perfect for us.Overall lovely apartment and would definitely recommend.

Unfortunately, the TV was not working when we arrived, but with the help of Ethan, we did get BBC I player mid stay. However, for people of our age, mid 80's, it was an inconvenience we did not expect, and took the edge off of what could have been an excellent break.
