The view from the "penthouse" is beautiful, and the apartment is comfortable. The house/mansion is historic, so it has many nice traditional touches. It is also cool and dark inside. The bed is comfortable, and we were provided with a warm comforter so we could sleep well on a cool early November night. We enjoyed visiting the mosque right next to the place, and we made two hikes up the hill and through the forests on the south side of the island. One spot had a great view of the sunset!
