Greeted warmly and felt at home right away. Lovely outdoor seating area, with grapes growing above our heads! In fact Christine shared her garden produce several times. We were right in the centre , with shops, restaurants, river walks, art galleries, Queen's Park, cafés and more within easy walking distance. The wonderful beach was only a ten minute drive. The apartment is roomy, and the bedroom / lounge arrangement worked very well. Christine pointed us in the right direction a few times, especially concerning excellent food at reasonable prices. I would heartily recommend this apartment, but not for the weeks that i want to book on my next visit!!
