    Breakfast was OK, Room was as expected to be in a youth hostel, bathroom needs few repairs, the location is ok. Few steps from centre and the beach but not much. Parking *** Mister who work at the time of staying there was the best!

    Great location, spacious and well equipped. Common areas very clean and building sound proofed throughout. A largely private residential property where everyone I met was friendly

    We had everything we needed in the apartment, it was perfectly clean and is in a very safe and quiet complex which was great for our family. Lovely view from the balcony in the morning and at sunset. Very good size with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The apartment is in a great location with a supermarket and pharmacy within a 5min walk. Loved it and it was a great holiday!!
