Great location and price !
Pros:

It’s a really good location - very friendly - let us store our luggage before and after! So many cute little spots near the Airbnb

Cons:

The only thing I would have to say is that we had room four and it had an external restroom and the restroom has a skeleton key so you need to be comfortable with using a skeleton key to unlock the restroom door

היה מעולה
Pros:

את זה שהיה ממש נקי, החוף הפרטי היה נוח והיה כיף ונעים בבריכה

Cons:

ארוחת בוקר יכולה להיות טובה יותר , שעות ניקיון החדר לפעמים הפריעו למנוחה
