Fantastic Appartment with an amazing view.
Pros:

Amazing quiet property with a fantasy view out to the Pacific.

Lovely big layout, with everything you need.

The gym was sufficient to get a workout it, no dumbbells but with a bit of imagination could make it work.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing we didn’t like!
