Pros:

The apartment was open, spacey, convenient location, GREAT view. All was nice, clean and modern. Will definitely stay again! I could open windows for dome fresh air!

Cons:

Maybe I'd add sheer curtains for more privacy during the day? But then I am sacrificing the fantastic view!

Pros:

The location is awesome! Looking right onto the beach. Even though the weather was rubbish the following was beautiful

Cons:

Only thing was a lingering smell of something that had been cooked in there maybe stuck the the furnishings, but it was warm clean and a comfy bed I would go back.

Phantastische Unterkunft!
Pros:

ALLES! Modern, sauber, ruhig (es ist Nachsaison) und geschmackvoll eingerichtet mit viel Platz. Es fehlte an Nichts! Die Veranda ist gemütlich, der Blick aufs Meer ist toll (Sonnenaufgänge). Das Team - Betreiber + Mitarbeiter sind sehr nett.
Unsere schönste Unterkunft (sind 2 Monate unterwegs)!

Cons:

Da gibt es NICHTS.

A beautiful unit in a lovely town
Pros:

The location was wonderful, and we could easily walk to everything. The room was great, with everything we needed, and with big windows overlooking the beach. There was also a glassed in sunroom/balcony to enjoy. The parking was much appreciated, as was the advice on local activities. Our room was on the first floor, up one flight of stairs. I tried the beach across the road, but the current was too strong for me - maybe go for the hot springs.

Cons:

Nothing we didn't like
