"Spaceous and modern 1 bed apartment in a quiet area only 5-10 minutes walk from the centre. Nice shower and small balcony with a view of the sea / cruise ships. Note that in Spring 2024 there is a building site next door but it wasnt too noisy. Has a car park outside with designated space. Note that the entrance is very steep (as are many of the side roads in this part of town). The buses are many and regular - we used them for some trips but rented a car for 3 days to visit the more...

Full sized fridge freezer which is always a bonus. Bedroom at the back with a small rooflight window - no aircon - but a decent fan in both areas.

"Great place to stay close to everything and amazing view. The house was in like new condition and well stocked. We would recommend this place to our friends. And we had a reserved parking spot on the street in front of the garage which was really convenient. Old town was a simple 5 min drive and great places to eat were a 5-10 minute walk (up/down hill) or quick drive."
