    Lovely apartment in a beautiful location to beach and local shops. Property owners were great. Very comfortable beds and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

    Wasn't as clean as I like. But wasn't bad either.

    Excellent location, great view. Easy with no checking in. Lots of space.

    Location was great, easy access to town but far enough away out of the main street. Nice quiet building. Love the keyless entry, means you don't have to take keys with you and you can't lose them. Left a pair of earrings and hosts made every effort to have them posted back.

    No bed side tables or lamp next to single bed/beds. I understand the room is tight but it’s hard to charge anything, read, have a travel fan, drink or anything next to you when it had to go on the floor. I ended up using a kitchen chair.

    Great location with great views of the bay. Great little kitchen with everything you need to get you through your stay. The beds were so comfortable it was hard to get up. The underground secured parking and lift were amazing too.

    Value for money, in the booking it stated the apartment would have 2 bedrooms to which i interpreted as seperate rooms and made it difficult especially with a child being no closed off space once gone to bed to have to also go to sleep or sit outside on the balcony.

    Location was great, most places within walking distance. The balcony in the apartment was right opposite the beach with a nice view of surrounds

    This “apartment” would have been great if it really had 2 bedrooms not 2 single beds in the kitchen dining area.

    It was advertised as 2 bedrooms and it wasn’t. 2 single beds were in the kitchen eating area. The “fan” in the bathroom didn’t have an on switch and didn’t seem to work to take away smells and steam. The bathroom didn’t have a window for this either.

    The position was great

    The kitchenette was a little dark and out of the way but great sized fridge. The shower was big enough but water sprayed out everywhere as you got in leaving the floor very slippery, potentially a hazard. The fan also didn't seem to operate so left the bathroom a little stuffy and mildewy.

    The apartment was roomy albeit the design a little odd. Easy access to bins, lifts etc. The balcony was a great place to sit and have a pre-dinner beverage.

    The only only thing was the bathroom does get pretty wet on the floor tiles. Nothing you can’t clean up but does get wet

    Spacious. Had a kitchen with fridge and all your basic needs like pans plates cups etc. bed was super comfy. Hosts were friendly. Great sea views. Spa bath was nice

    Finer details in cleaniness. The fridge trays were not clean, the towels and bedding had a bad smell (checked with owners and looks like not washed properly).

    Big spa bath....small shower Everything else was great. The provided tea and milk was a good start to our stay. Needed it after our long drive.

    Location was excellent. Check in was seamless. Although we were only advised the details a few minutes before 2pm via text.

    The only thing I could think of improving was internet speed, however it was still useable. We only used it at night once in for the evening and found it slow at times with lag but it was still great to have the access.

    George and Roula were exceptional in having the property organised for our arrival. It was a very easy process to enter the car park and the hotel room. Roula even called us to welcome us and ensure we had everything we needed which was beyond my expectation.
