The apartment was clean, spacious and a stunning view of the ocean. My fiancee and I spent 3 nights in the Strand. Upon arrival we waited for Chantel to meet us and show us around. Her husband arrived and the keys were handed over. Nothing was explained where everything was in terms of washing machine etc and no welcome note nor instructions left. We had to find the appliances and figure it out ourselves. The welcoming chocolates were a yummy treat. There was no tea, coffee, sugar satchets. Heating was listed on the website but we didn't find any heating as such. One evening whilst cooking dinner, the power tripped. I had to call Chantel and was instructed over the phone where to go outside in the hall to check the power box. An annoying occurence was the noise coming from the water supply. Every time we or an apartment above us used the water, it made a loud droning noise, day/night. All in all a relaxing stay.
