Thank you so much Linda. It was our pleasure to host you both.
The accommodation was exactly as described and pictured - probably better than pictured - and exactly what we wanted. A great waterside spot and the apartment was super clean, well appointed and had everything we needed. The owners are super friendly and helpful. Would happily recommend and visit again. Thanks for a great stay.
