Be aware that this listing also includes a ground floor apartment with a bland cement courtyard (no balcony) and you are not able to confirm which apartment you have until last second (when it’s too late to book something else). Very disappointing for us when we realised we wouldn’t be getting the balcony in the photos, so make sure to read the description fully!
The management had professional communication, and kindly offered me an early checkin which was very much appreciated. Checkin and access to the building was easy and the place felt safe. The apartment was clean and professionally presented.
The ground floor apartment is fine if you don’t need on to spend much time there, but not a place for a special occasion or to hang out in much. Good little apartment if it’s just somewhere to crash.
It is located close to the beach, but because it is at the top of a VERY steep hill/set of stairs, you won’t be keen to pop in and out during the day. We’re reasonably fit so it was ok in decent shoes, but if you want to wear heels out to dinner or if you have heavy luggage, bad knees or any mobility issues, I would not recommend staying here.
The kitchen was really nice, but we didn’t cook dinners together as planned because no one wanted to carry a bunch of groceries up the hill and opening up the doors and blinds meant people could look in (and they did) from the walkway directly beside the apartment.
The bed was comfortable and the wardrobe had plenty of space. There was a large full length mirror in the lounge room which was helpful when getting ready to go out.
In the end, our stay was just ok.
This is a well maintained and managed apartment that really needs a seperate listing to let people choose exactly which property they stay in and should certainly be at a lower price point than the apartments above it.
I would consider staying in the balcony rooms in future, but would not stay again in the ground floor apartment that we were allocated.
