The apartment was absolutely gorgeous! Very very spacious and had everything we needed.
The view was also outstanding! Will definitely stay here again, first class!
this apartment was wonderful nothing of significants to fault, great views, great facilities and great location. it was well equipped. The only minor things was no cutting board, exhaust fan not working and some curtain clips where broken. We loved our stay there and would recommend.
The property was amazing, ideal location but the carpets needed a good clean, and the curtains were in need of laundering. I noted that apartment had recently been sold so think it needs a little makeover, like painting etc. Everything was there that we needed for baby, highchair, portable cot. We all really enjoyed our stay so thankyou.
Really lovely stay,ticked all boxes-Quiet unit, nicely furnished , in great location.
We locked our key inside the Unit, this was sorted easily by contacting the Host.
Air Con , not functioning (it was hot and humid ), reported same but not actioned.
No instructions re bin locations, etc not a big deal when we were dining out each meal.
Hope to stay here again, sometime soon.
