Location - Excellent; Views - Stunning; Value for money - Excellent. Would stay here again
Pros:

Location is excellent, onsite parking included (a little tight to park but manageable).
The standout is the view from the balcony.
Easy to walk to everything, the apartment has everything you need.
It is an older building and could do with a lick of paint inside but seriously, that is such a minor thing to worry about.
I would definitely stay here again!

Cons:

Maybe painting the interior to give it a lift

Pros:

Die Lage direkt am Meer war super!

Cons:

Das Appartement ist sehr alt, teilweise bröckelt der Putz von der Wand und der Decke. Die Amaturen im Bad, WC und Küche sind renovierungsbedürftig.

Tolle Aussicht, zum Super-Preis

Etwas in die Jahre gekommene Wohnung für 4 Personen, dennoch mit guter Ausstattung.

In The Heart of Main Beach
Pros:

Although this is an older style apartment, the set up is great for a short stay. The cooking facilities are adequate and all the cups, spoons, plates and kitchen utensils are available to use. The bed was comfortable, the place was spotlessly clean and the view and location cannot be beaten. We loved our short stay and will return soon.

Cons:

The parking area is very difficult to manoeuvre. The ironing board needs to be replaced.
