Apartment is a 10 minute walk to beach, and is as pictured, but there are a multitude of things that made this a very unpleasant stay. If I had had time to find somewhere else I would have checked out early.
Worst thing was the constant noise -traffic right outside - there are lots of noisy vehicles on the main street, plus noise from bars and nightlife, and bins at the back which the bedroom window overlooks.
There is no air-con (as per listing), but I would have expected at least a fan in the bedroom, there isn't. Makes the apartment sweltering. If you open all the windows to try and get air flow, noise is worse.
Also lacks natural light - the apartment is situated right by the lift and access path to other apartments, so for any privacy you need to keep the shutters closed. Similarly bedroom window is overlooked by other apartments so feels like you have no privacy.
Although recently refurbished, the shower always pours water onto the bathroom floor, meaning you have to mop up each time.
Fridge had been left off when I arrived (and was dirty)- wouldn't have been a problem if I had noticed straight away. Also the door of it sticks - requires a good bit of force to open.
Saucepans were a bit greasy too.
Listing says laundry is in building, which is inaccurate.
Parking - 10 minute walk away and expect to drive round a good bit finding space.
I would definitely not recommend this place, unless you are deaf, don't care about privacy, and want to feel like you're in a sauna for a few days.
Also, I didn't feel it was very secure - on a main street with just one little lock.
Host is responsive and helpful though - when I jammed the lock open (think it needs some attention really), he arrived in 10 minutes and was friendly and helpful.
