Petra and her husband Tony Well lovely welcoming hosts, very warm and caring.
One thing which we found slightly difficult was that we knew there was a bed and a sofa bed but we thought they would be in separate rooms, whereas in fact they are in very close proximity in one room. We were two ladies who did not wish to share the bed, albeit that it was huge! The sofa bed was not very comfortable. There were no instructions as to how to make the sofa into a bed even though we had said we would be using it but we worked it out. This was a small point really and we were only there for one night so we managed.
This slight disadvantage was well outweighed by the lovely welcome we received from our hosts.
We did not really see much of the environment because we were taken by taxi from JFK to the apartment and the following day by taxi to the cruise port (Petra Very kindly arranged for the latter for us.)
