Beautiful apartment in the heart of old town. The apartment had everything we needed for our stay. The property manager, Vanessa was professional and very helpful with recommendations and suggestions. The only issues for us :Not enough lighting in the main bathroom.The mattress coverings are some sort of rubberized covering which made the bed hot and noisyThe stairs leading to the apartment are challenging, they are very steep and narrow.Overall a great location.

The place was ideally located. Close to transportation and right in the heart of old town. The stairway to the 3rd floor was not really mentioned on the preview. It was a tough climb for my wife and I who are in our sixties, trying to take up two 20 kilo suitcases was a challenge.

Darling apartment, excellent location and beautiful view. Extremely responsive hosts. Knocked off a few stars because of the steep, winding stairwell to get into the apartment. Tricky with suitcases and old knees. The coffee machine wouldn’t work and we ran out of toilet paper. Hosts were very responsive, but those are essentials for any traveler. Other than those minor issues, it was an ideal place to stay and I would definitely stay again! Clean, cozy, great communication, and you can’t beat the location and view.

Fantastic location. The property was clean and had a good sized main bedroom with en-suite, kitchen and lounge. Upstairs is a pretty tight squeeze and has limited head height, but we managed.My family thoroughly enjoyed staying at the apartment and loved being so close to the sea front, old town and bars and restaurants.

A beautiful spot and a beautiful stay

The pictures perfectly represented the apartment; it was light-filled, clean, and filled with amenities. The location could not have been more perfect, as is clear by the windows.Our host communicated with us in depth about the check-in process and even sent us videos on how to use the various keys. It was a wonderful stay and if I'm ever back, I'll be sure to stay again.

Great location

A perfectly located apartment. Clean, fresh, welcoming with an amazing view of the bay. Only a couple of minor issues that if solved would have made the stay even better!! The beds weren't great, not very comfortable, with plastic sheeting. And one shower didn't drain. Otherwise - no complaints and would stay again.

Beautiful views, great location

Wonderful property that provided our family with the necessary space and amenities (washing machine, dishwasher and two bathrooms). Two bedrooms/beds and a couch in common room for one of our kids to sleep on. Great location. Only issue would be lots of stairs (steep/narrow) so this would not be ideal for those with mobility issues. We enjoyed our 4 night stay.

I didn't know what to expect when we opened the door to our apartment building to find a narrow, steep staircase but the apartment itself was very bright and modern. The location is excellent with beautiful views and easy access to bars,restaurants,supermarket and public transport. We would all be happy to stay there again.
