Kitchen very well equipped indeed. Beds and settees comfortable. Within 5mins walk of 3 "convenience" supermarkets and a pharmacy. Easy 10mins walk to beach, uphill back though...or park in residential road 2 mins away from fabulous beach. Very quiet and pleasant area. Only negative is no WiFi and intermittent phone signal at the property. Maps and info wouldn't always load as needed, to plan outings.
