The apartment was clean, cosy and lovely with amble blankets, towels and tea. We loved that we could easily store our bikes in the garage and take off riding straight from the door. The only thing that I would say is that the shower’s water pressure was weak, but is expected for the era of the building. We loved our stay, it had stunning views, a quick walk straight onto the beach and it’s cute little balcony with a comfy day bed to chill out. Thank you, would love to return sometime soon! ##### Renee Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Cathy Apr 10, 2023 Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Great location & views.
