Guests rated the apartment highly, with one solo traveler giving a 10/10 rating for the stunning view overlooking the town, harbour, and sea. A group of guests staying over Christmas noted the host left out two wrapped presents containing biscuits and a puzzle. One couple highlighted the location and sea view as the clear highlight of their Christmas break.
Considerations
The apartment is on the top floor of the apartment block, accessible via a couple of hills. Several guests reported poor WiFi signal and slow speeds below 2 Mbps.
