We chose this apartment for a few years now for the above reasons. This year there was no sun-umbrella on the balcony and, because of the bright sun, we could not use it this year until the sun went down. Disappointingly, our request for one, was denied by the owner. We'll need to check this aspect before we book again next year. Overall, we feel comfortable in that apartment and would be sad to look for somewhere else. Anna Rufus
