Perfect location just one block back from the beach and shop and cafes at the end of the street. Apartment was very spacious and well equipped. We had a fabulous stay and would stay again. Beds are low futon style, but once you're in it was no issue.

The guest bedroom with queen bed in it smelt like cat urine , we had to leave the sliding door open the entire night . Other than that it was ok

Hi Michael, thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about the odour in the guest bedroom, this is certainly not the experience we want for our guests. We haven’t received this report previously and the home isn't pet friendly, but we will absolutely be inspecting the room and arranging appropriate treatment to ensure the issue is fully resolved. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and are glad to hear the rest of your stay was otherwise okay.

Hi Julie, thanks so much for the 10/10 rating, we really appreciate it.
We’re sorry to read your comment about the BBQ. The BBQ at the property is actually brand new so it must have been replaced just after your stay.
Thanks again for your feedback and for staying with us.
