Jan 4, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location Disliked: Cleanliness #### Great views and location On entry terrible smell as a dirty BBQ was left in the main sleeping and lounge area. Stench was unbearable had to leave balcony door open the whole time. Lots of air freshener spraying. Couches all stained, doona cover stained. The property had everything you could need. A bit of clutter of 2 fans, not sure why as there was air conditioning. Box under bench with vacuum cleaner that didn’t work. Balcony was dirty on arrival as well, we had to sweep up and wipe things down. We still enjoyed the location, not so much our accommodation. We did receive a small refund, but the welcoming was disappointing, who leaves a dirty BBQ in a closed apartment. ##### Maria Marthese R.

She was able to change my accomodation last minute to something more suitable for my 90 year old grandmother to access. Luckily this was picked up by her, otherwise she wouldn't have made it up the stairs of the place I had originally booked.The apartment was beautiful with ocean views and had everything you need. Right across from the beach. There were markets across from us on the Saturday.We had a lovely stay :) ##### Emilly C.

This apartment was in a great location close to town & pubs, and the view of the beach was magnificent. The bed was comfortable, there was no noise from the main road, there was many condiments available for us to use (we didn’t). Negatives - fridge had food particles on the shelf, couch the same, around TV dusty. Microwave didn’t work until turned off then on again. Overall, I would recommend the apartment due to the view & the location. Thanks very much. ##### Judy K. Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kate H.
