Brilliant location!

10.0

One of our very favorite places to visit and we were not disappointed once more. The location is brilliant, close to beach and restaurants. Sunsets over the water are beautiful. The apartment has everything we could need and was exceptionally clean. The host was very helpful booking excursions. Overall a wonderful place to stay!

The heating/aircon unit could use an update.
