Communication with Lara was superb, she always replied very quickly to any queries, whether before the holiday or during. Housekeeper was there on the doorstep to meet us, and show us round the apartment. She brought a bottle of fresh water as well, as it was a National Holiday and most places were closed. There was also tea and coffee in the kitchen.

The location is fantastic, you walk up to the main shopping area within 5 minutes. It can be noise in the morning, as most car drivers beep their horns a lot of the time, but if you're a fairly early riser that doesn't matter.

The apartment itself has everything you need for a holiday, we found the bed to be perfectly comfortable, which is always a bonus. Although we were there in September, the weather was very warm and humid, and we were glad we had several electric fans to use round the place, especially at night.

There are plenty of little supermarkets in the area, where you can get everything and anything you need.
