Lovley aspect right next to the water and a nice walk into town.

I thought I had booked a higher up apartment in the building, but that could have been my mistake. A message from the host didn't come through so I didn't have the right code for the lock box

The property was just as it looked advertised and was neat and tidy with a beautiful view.

Being into our 60’s and my husband awaiting knee surgery we would never had booked this had we known that there are nearly 30stairs to climb.
