We were very pleased with Terence’s downstairs apartment. It was perfect for the three of us.
The apartment is conveniently located on a hill where it catches the breeze. There is air conditioning but we used it very little as the large windows allowed excellent air flow and kept us quite comfortable. The basic amenities suited our needs and we enjoyed browsing the library of books in the living room. Terence is an excellent host who responds quickly to messages and thoughtfully provided us with milk in the fridge so we might have tea and coffee upon our arrival.
There is plenty of parking space for a car but we did not need one as a short walk takes one to the beach, restaurants, post office, and shops (including bakery and a 24 hour IGA). The bus runs close by, making it easy to connect with the train to go into the city or other farther destinations.
We did have some noise issues with the upstairs guests but because we had no car, they did not realize we were there. Our bedrooms faced directly onto the parking area, so vehicles coming and going late at night did disturb our sleep on a few nights.
The apartment has a nice kitchen, huge closets, storage bins for shoes/boots, and a clothes washer. No dryer but the near constant breeze dried clothes and towels quickly when hung on the available line outside.
Overall, we found this to be a comfortable apartment with all essential amenities and a responsive, caring host. We look forward to staying here again on future visits.
