    Because we were on the first floor, we could hear alot of the conversations at the front door. The apartment (#2) looked newly renovated but the bathroom was either not finished or designed very differently from the rest of the apartment.

    Sylvia was excellent and very friendly. The location was great.

    We had two beds, actually the bed mattress was divided into 2, so I didn’t find it that confortable.

    The location was great, near the beaches and also near the city center. Big thanks to the host, Silvia, that was extremly nice and helpful.

    It would have been helpful be told what time room cleaning is at check-in. That being said, the cleaner was always really patient and willing to come back later when we weren’t ready.

    Great location (5 min walk from the Old Town and really near the strip of beaches); large clean studio with an amazing sea view; nice modern bathroom with a big shower and great shower pressure; daily room cleaning

    Maybe replace the two chairs by the coffee table with a small couch.

    Beautiful setting and view from our second floor apartment with balcony overlooking the town and beach. Enjoyed the sunrise every morning (pictured). Easy walk to everywhere you would want to go: boardwalk, beaches, town, grocery stores and more. Sylvia was wonderful in providing warm hospitality and information about the area. She and her colleague provided daily cleaning too! Apartments are spacious, simply decorated and very clean. Kitchen equipped enough for us to cook 3 dinners, which we ate on the balcony. This is a hot month but we didn’t need to use the AC due to the constant breeze. Some road noise when a loud motor cyclist would rev their engine. We would rent here long term if we could!

    I wish there's elevator. I had to carry a 23kg suitcase to 3rd floor which was unfortunate. The lady who works at the reception was a little impatient when collecting our key. We arrived at the hotel a little too early so wasn't possible to collect keys so we asked to drop our luggage there and come back later. We wanted to use the bathroom before leaving but she keeps moaning about how busy she is and that she has to (on her own) prepare all the rooms before the checkin which is understandable but that also affected our experience.

    The view was stunning! I can see the beach from my balcony. Also the room is big. It's more than enough for 2 people. It is a little pricy but definitely worth it. I get a full set of kitchen equipments and the bathroom is clean. Quite. Can't complain.

    No lift hard when you are on 3rd floor and heavy luggage.

    Great views and facilities with kitchen area. Close to beaches and boardwalk. Restaurant next door was great for food and drinks nice to chill. About 5-10 minutes walk down the hill to main shopping, markets by the water and loads of eateries.

    the bathroom needed updating - there was an unpleasant smell and the walls were scuffed, dirty. the room was “cleaned” everyday but they only made up the beds and that’s it. the floor was covered in sand and my hair by the end of the stay! bit annoying - we just wore sandals indoors all the time. because we were on the bottom floor (the worst) we heard a lot of noise from upstairs neighbours late at night and in the day. no noise from outside at least. just hope you don’t get the bottom floor! for the price we paid i thought it wasn’t fair.

    perfect location, very spacious living and bedroom area! free parking on a nearby quiet road. we are on the bottom floor we got a nice sea view but wasn’t as good as top floor i’d presume.

    The parking available is a lot across the street. We came back one night and the lot was locked. Not very straightforward parking situation.

    Good location right outside of the old town, so more quiet. Room has been renovated, it’s nice and it’s large. Walking distance to many beaches
