The apartment itself is in need of refurbishing and painting. Items like the mattresses need replacing, they are uncomfortable and the duvets and bed linen could do with an update. The dressing table and stool are superfluous and take up too much space. The apartment is a bit cramped for four people especially if the weather is not too good.

We stay with my older father and my young daughter and it suits us well. Clean and comfortable. Simply furnished with not too much stuff. But all we need. Great views. A pool to occupy the youngest of our party. Parking in town! Thank you.
