Great place to stay. And pretty good value for money.
1. The location:
Pals. Approximately 10 mins from supermarket / shops / restaurants/ lovely beaches. And a short drive away from even nicer beaches. The apartment is at the top of a very steep hill in a quiet residential area. You'd be fine walking down, but unless you really have to walking up is something you'd want to avoid.
2. The apartment:
Is in the downstairs / basement area of Kevyn's very big house. Did not realise that this had actually been split into two apartments - we stayed in the larger two bed (next door is a one bed). So you share the pool area. There is no soundproofing and outside you are rather on top of each other (it was fine - but only because our holidaying neighbours were very pleasant and hardly ever there). Inside it was fine. Clean. Kitchen had everything you needed (hob, oven, microwave, kettle, toaster, etc). Shower was good. Found the beds / mattresses a bit uncomfortable (they felt quite springy) - but not overly so. There was no aircon - but two rather old and rattling fans took the edge off the heat. Swimming pool area was nice - although a couple of loose paving slabs and broken balustrades meant it felt a little tired.
3. The owner.
Kevyn - lives on site, in the house above. Very friendly, helpful and unobtrusive. We barely saw him or his wife during our stay. And we never heard him or his family.
Overall we were very happy. This was a good place to stay. You could pay more for a place right on the sea front in the area, or hotel quality accommodation. But this obviously isn't a hotel. Yes, some things felt a little bit tired - but for the money you are paying you get a lot of space, the ability to do self catering, and nearly exclusive use of a pool.
