Reasonable value for money, good location. Breakfast included.
Pros:

Good location, nice pool. Apartment was a good size for the two of us, had harbour views & a basic breakfast was included which was handy.

Cons:

Bathroom was very small, as had a washer & dryer in there as well. I kept banging my arms on the wall when drying myself after a shower. Not enough towel racks to dry two towels.
