Fabulous view, loved falling asleep and waking to the ocean. Apartment was spacious, sunny and nicely furnished. It was easy enough to manage without a full kitchen - just got a cooked chicken from supermarket and microwave veggies and rice. Will definitely be back!
Could do with some sharp knives for chopping & bread cutting

Location, lovely views, cosy place, nice owner
The place was very cold, a little heater is not enough when you are by the sea....there was another one in the room, still wasn't warm enough plus another heater panel but didn't make the place warm enough, There was no sink where the coffee facilities were. No lights to get down or up the stairs in darkness to access the place. Still it is a beautiful unit,
