The two of us stayed at Stephens place for four nights with my two six year old kids.
The kids loved the apartment especially the TV loaded with movies. We loved the balcony which gave us space to escape and relax while the kids entertained themselves in the evening.
The place is easy to look after, comfortable and welcoming. Stephen even left us a six pack in the fridge and a bottle of red (which I forgot to thank him for). The cupboard/fridge has some food basics which made things easier. The Chinese restaurant downstairs was also a good choice.
Both beds fold up (sofa bed and main bed up to the wall) which was an excellent idea and gave us plenty of space when some friends popped over on Saturday night. The kids thought this was hilarious.
The apartment is an easy walk to the beach which we all loved. Just opposite there are cafes and shops and ice cream shops.
It really was a lovely friends place to stay and Stephen was great to deal with (very responsive).
It's highly recommended by me.
