Fabulous location and easy to get around.
Pros:

Clean and easy access to beach, cafes, and shops.

Cons:

Supplies were lacking compared with what other other accommodation providers offer. No kitchen cloth or brush to handwash dishes. No facial tissues. The liquid soap in the bathroom was more water than soap. The couch was REALLY uncomfortable. Time for a new one.
