The apartment was just as described and pictured. Perfect location walking distance to many sights and the harbour/beach. Metro very close and meant we had a very easy holiday with our 18 month old. The lift was just big enough for 2 adults and a pram so great for a small family to get in and out. Dish washer and washing machine were handy to have. Enjoyed the balcony and although not much of a view (as per pictures) it was nice and quiet and useful for drying washing. Everything was as expected and Joan was great to deal with and spoke very good English.
