The apartment has many great qualities but there are some things you need to know before booking (which I'll get to at the end). First, the good things! The property is located walking distance from both the train station and the beach, and is surrounded by every amenity you might need, including a fun and lively pedestrian zone with great ice cream options. There are three closed bedrooms (one of which doesn't have a window, so it's nice and dark at night) with comfy beds and quirky lighting setups. The kitchen is large and is well stocked with dishes and the like. The dining area seats six comfortably, and the spacious living room has enough seating for the whole family. The decor is warm and inviting, and we were delighted to find books and activities for both kids and adults. The bathroom has two sinks, a large shower, and both a washer and dryer (the latter of which works just fine). Finally, our host was friendly and responsive. And, again, the location really is perfect for a beach-going tourist.
That said, there are some things you should know before booking:
1. There is a nightclub across the street that rages until 02:00 every night. It is shockingly loud even with the windows closed. If you are hard of hearing (or you like to party) this probably won't bother you—otherwise, consider yourself warned.
2. If you leave the kitchen window open, the apartment will smell like a grease trap due to the downstairs restaurant venting.
3. The internet service doesn't work and the apartment has poor mobile reception.
