Charming 3-Bedroom Apartment on the Beach-side with AC and WiFi in Mount Lavinia

10/10 Excellent
"We came to stay here after hopping around Sri Lanka doing sight-seeing and staying at various hotels along the way. Our stay was very comfortable and Mr. Daboo, the property manager, was very attentive to our needs. The apartment was adequately spaceous for a family of 6 with 3 kids, and we had air conditioning in all rooms. We really appreciated having the Smart TV with Netflix and Prime, which kept our kids entertained while we were at home (something we did not find in any of the hotels we stayed at in Sri Lanka!)."
