The location of the apartment is fantastic. Straight down the stairs into a good choice of restaurants and a couple of shops. Plenty coffee shops nearby and only a few minutes walk to the beach. Although the strip of restaurants is busy at peak times, we weren't at all bothered by noise from them. The bin men, however, are very noisy at 7am every day, but this didn't bother us much. The apartment was nicely set up, all rooms are a good size, except for the kitchen which is tiny. However, not an issue if you're eating out. Our host was very helpful indeed. All in all, a nice apartment in a great location.
