When we arrived there was milk in the fridge, cookies, chocolate, tea etc., which we enjoyed a lot. The description for check-in was perfect. It would have been helpful to have some information about the parking situation, to know where long-term parking is possible. The sea-view showed on the picture is the view from the upper terrasse, from the appartement you have got only a small section to see the sea. But we enjoyed to be very near to the seafront and spent some restful days .

We wouldn't hesitate to return. During our visit we were blessed with a late season heat wave so the roof terrace was so lovely to sit in lovely peaceful surroundings. The apartment is bijou but beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The location is just perfect and surrounded by lovely pubs and restaurants and only a stones throw from the beach. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack and for having us, we'll be back!
