I was pleasantly surprised by the flatlet. I had a lovely view , it rained so I didnt get to sit on the patio and drink my coffee but I can imagine how lovely it would be to relax there. Everything was clean and neat and the shower was big and the water hot. DSTV worked easily and the small kitchen had milk and sugar , teas and coffee. The bed was comfortable. I will definitely stay here again. And a lovely walk to the beach. Really delightful.
