We really enjoyed our stay at the apartment. It was spacious and clean and had everything we needed, including a washing machine and clothesline which was invaluable to us. The WiFi was brilliant. If you use the roller shutters strategically to block out the morning sun, the apartment stays quite cool without using the AC. Later, after the sun has risen high enough, you get a delightful cross breeze through the apartment when the windows are all open. This might change as summer get hotter, but was fine in June. There are also fans in every room. The apartment is on the 7th floor, so you get great views. There is a lift, however it is small and only takes 2 people at a time. There are several eateries and a very good supermarket within about a 5 minute walk, with the main downtown area about 10-15 minutes walk (along a busy street lined with stores, so an interesting walk). The waterfront is about a 10 minute walk away, with a swimmable beach about 15-20 minutes walk. The train station is about a 15 minute walk. You don’t really need a car to stay here. I would happily recommend the apartment.
