The apartment was very good nice and clean and all we needed the patio left a little to be desired was quite shabby needs a bit of a clean up
Jayna
There was no privacy as the workmen could see into the kitchen and lounge. The garden was locked off, and we booked this with the main criteria being a garden with having dogs. Overall a holiday from hell. With little to no support from the owner and no support whatsoever from Sykes. Will never book again.
