#### Amazing views

The property was very clean and had all the amenities you needed. There wasn't any air-conditioning but there was a lovely cool ocean breeze every night. The views was amazing and was walking distance to the marina. Would definitely stay again!

Liked: Property conditions & facilities, communication

Disliked: Cleanliness

Appalling stay! Filthy apartment with sticky surfaces throughout - carpet, dining table, kitchen, showers were all disgusting. Broken lounge light forced us onto the balcony in darkness, no smart TV. Intrusive neighbor constantly monitored and complained, even about normal conversation on the balcony! Inaccessible for guests with mobility issues. Never again ...
