The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach and stunning sea views. Guests consistently mention the excellent positioning of the property as a highlight of their stay.
Guests have mixed feelings about the comfort of the flat, with some finding it perfect for their needs, while others reported issues with the bed and noise. The comfort of the bed was a recurring concern.
The flat is generally seen as well-equipped and furnished, with a modern kitchen and good quality shower. However, some guests noted the need for maintenance, such as descaling the kettle and fixing squeaky bed frames.

Unfortunately on our return trip things have changed considerably. The flat needs lots of TLC. There is black mould on the ceiling in the main room and in the bathroom. The flat was dirty in several areas. The corridor that go's past the flat was very noisy. People constantly up and down in the lift (next to flat 30) made it very difficult for us to enjoy our stay.

We loved our short stay here, finding the kitchen small but well equipped. The bathroom is excellent with plenty of storage and a fantastic shower. (We didn't see a sign/instruction that the water heater needs to be turned on manually but that would have been helpful). We were a bit trepidatious about the bed being a pull-out one but it was very comfy and as good as a divan. A lovely place to stay and we'd definitely stay again.
