After booking the communication with Berniece was great. She arranged a taxi to collect us from the airport (€25) which took out the stress of arrival for us.
As we landed late morning, before check in, Bernice was kind enough to let us use another empty apartment to leave our cases and freshen up before going out until our place was ready and clean. In the end we were able to check in an hour or so earlier than planned.
The apartment is a high specification with smart TVs, nice furniture and a well equipt kitchen. The only thing that would have been useful would have been to have chopping boards and some cleaning products to use so that we could clean surfaces more easily after preparing food.
The views from the apartment are beautiful and although cool, the infinity pool was large and a great thing to have due to the terrace being so hot during the day.
Overall the apartment was really clean and we were provided with the necessary things for our weeks stay. If there was anything additional that we needed, this was dealt with swiftly and the communication from Bernice was great.
Although the apartment sleeps 8, we would suggest that this would be a little tight. There were 3 of us and that felt comfortable. We would suggest that 4 people in the apartment would be enough due to it being a 1 bathroom (+1 WC) apartment and the outside Terrance being spacious but, not enough space outside for sunbathing for more that maybe 5-6.
Comfortable cushions are provided for sunbathing but, there are only 2 deck chairs and no loungers outside.
We had some issues with our AC (2 out of 4 not working) which meant that we had to have units on constantly to keep the space cool. We reported this on the first day and this issue was acknowledged immediately although, due to it being a fault with the units, it wasn’t resolved before leaving.
We did go over the electricity allowance and we think, due to this AC issue. It was agreed that we would halve the amount paid due to us leaving the apartment in a good condition on check out.
Our top tips:
- download the Bolt taxi app on your phone. The area is local and there are no passing cabs. They’re quick and easy, much like Uber.
- joe joes bar downstairs. Go! The drinks are cheap, the atmosphere is nice and they are really helpful.
- check if there are bank holidays when you’re there. If there is, make sure you have supplies as most places are shut.
- smart city - not a lot there but nice to see as you’re only a 5/10 min walk away. The food in deck and morsel is particularly good.
Overall, a really great stay and we would certainly visit again.
