Jan 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Tranquillity out on the balcony It's not a good story. My sister became very unwell and I rushed to be with her, booking the accommodation in haste. My sister passed away 12hrs after I arrived. I loved everything about the accommodation but have sad memories. ##### Pauline B.
