Elaine's apartment is stunning. Approaching from the street it seems slightly underwhelming, but arriving upstairs the apartment is beautifully decorated and the view from the expansive balcony is breathtaking. The bathroom was well equipped and the shower was high quality.
The kitchen was well equipped to make a nice breakfast and the living room was comfortable.
Unfortunately there was a town wide problem with crickets, which infested the apartment. However this was out of Elaine's control and she was quick to call and apologise.
Perhaps I misread the description, but I did not realise that the apartment was above A private residence with a stair way lacking privacy at the entrance to the "apartment" which was in reality just the second storey of a house.
We had a brilliant time being able to walk out the front door onto the beach for a swim: a rare experience.
