And pool
Nice structure, the apartment was not very big but still comfortable, clean, modern, very well equipped, I liked it.. even though I arrived at 11 pm (due to flight delay), the caretaker immediately welcomed me, Thank you again. I chose this property also for its proximity to the Bus and Train Station, also right next to a nice shopping center, and it only takes 10 minutes on foot to reach the seafront

Nothing, everything OK
Very clean spacious apartment with great facilities.
Very clean spacious apartment with great facilities.
Very noisy if you're a light sleeper, they have railway workers staying there who come back around 3 am reversing into parking spaces with beepers that will wake you up, also bin men or laundry people come around 6 am also with beepers as they reverse in. Also needs to be made clear that there aren't any lifts, not a problem for us but would be for less able people
