There was a small kitchen, but not the easiest to cook in. Mainly used the microwave and fridge. It was pet friendly, which was great! Could not get any central heating and fireplace to work. So we ended up using a portable heater we found in the closet. Location was great as it was very close to East Beach.

The room smelled of fabuloso the whole time so bad I left with a sore throat. Could use some updating. The tub enclosure is peeling and mold.
