    A very comfortable and attractive guest house. Hosts have given much care and attention to detail ensuring an enjoyable stay. I felt pampered! A great balance of feeling homely yet luxurious. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choices. On a quiet attractive street but very close to beach/shops/eateries/buses. Good off street parking. Great location to explore from or simply enjoy local area. I highly recommend.

    Good location and in easy reach of the seaside and city centre. Apartment was warm and generally comfy although felt a bit crowded for four people. Would be ideal for two travellers. Strong WiFi and neighbourhood seemed quiet. Near by streets offer free parking and we were lucky to get a spot throughout our stay. Easy communication with host and nice bathroom.
