Hot water was plentiful throughout the day. The beds were comfortable and the linen beautifully clean. We would have liked to see hooks in the bathrooms to hang clothes on, I could not use the bath as I need a grab rail - A shower attachment would have been helpful. In the ensuite shower room a handrail and a shower mat would have improved the safety. Most of the chairs were very low down and we needed cushions to sit at the table. We were a party of three and although we enjoyed sitting on the balcony, there wasnât really room for more than two people and we would have liked a couple of sun loungers for a bit of relaxing luxury as it was mostly warm & sunny. Thank you for letting use your lovely apartment.

The property is well supplied and have nice views and we enjoyed watching ferry arrivals. Appartmet is comfortable but It can get hot in sunny days so closing blinds when going out was essential to keep it cooler. If using public transport buses not very frequent and was cheaper to get taxi for the family rather than changing two buses accrooss town. The advantage close proximity to ferry to Cremyl and must visit.

The flat suffered from bad drain smells mostly from the ensuite. The fans provided had little effect on the heat from the rest of the building. The bed and furniture were comfortable and the TV was great. Loved the balcony and the view but the kitchen was extremely compact.
