"We had an excellent time in the apartment, which is well fitted and enjoys a perfect location by the beach with quick access to the sea. Our Host was extremely helpful and very attentive to our needs. There is an abundance of eateries and bars in the locality with a superb menu of fresh fish and seafood, our prime weakness.Although close by restaurants and bars, the apartment is in a very peaceful and quiet road alongside the beach.Highly recommended and thank you for a lovely stay.
