We were happy with the apartment especially once we’d changed the quilt to a lighter one. The images show an outside table and chairs balcony, it was not possible to put these out to use as the balcony is really a passageway for others to use to get to their apartment and we would have blocked it had we put them out so , (very misleading). There was a fan but it was too small and the heat was overpowering at times, I tried to buy one but all stores had sold out. We were not left any spare rubbish bags and I have thrown away better saucepans and frying pans etc. all theirs were in a very poor condition but I made do. We parked in our allotted parking space but others seemed to park where they liked. “Those are the negatives that need addressing.”But we wanted that location for kayaking and it was perfect for that. Sadly due to the extreme heat and lack of fans etc. we were unable to get comfortable in the apartment or sleep well, so we left on the Thursday as it became so unbearable. I appreciate no one can predict the weather.

Holiday spoilt by poor cleaning,heavy grease on cooker hood and tiles behind cooker,freezer compartment of fridge frozen solid so could not store frozen items, kitchen blind needs a good clean,door below oven delaminating and requires replacing,stains on mattress cover,lot of dust in bathroom.The apartment is well situated but three lots of stairs to carry up cases etc was not suitable for anyone with walking issues and unless you have a small car getting out of the car park space is difficult when all apartments are occupied

Wonderful views and we had a very comfortable stay. The only thing I would mention was anyone with mobility issues may struggle with the hill and the steps up to the apartment
