Looking out over the view was a great way to start and end the day, and provided an instant weather update! The apartment was spotlessly clean, very well furnished and presented, and with a well resourced kitchen. It was a joy to stay here and provided a comfortable space to relax and unwind. We very much look forward to staying here again some time in the future.
