Absolutely perfect location with so much including restaurants and buses in easy walking distance. The view from the apartment is exceptional - we could see the dolphins playing in the sea. Yes there are some crazy stairs up to it - but well worth it for the view. Comfy seats in the lounge, very well equipped kitchen, lovely powerful shower…….. Already looking at when we will be back :)
