"A great apartment on the edge of the old town. Fab views of the sea and of the local area - great for people watching. Good size living / kitchen area with well appointed cooking area. Full sized fridge freezer which is always a bonus. Bedroom at the back with a small rooflight window - no aircon - but a decent fan in both areas. Walk in bathroom/ shower was without a window and limited mechanical extraction - so had a v damp smell - a design fault - but had to keep that door closed. But the...

Mirasol Guesthouse

Mirasol Guesthouse

8/10 Good
"Great location, very helpful and accommodating staff. Building is older and could use some updating; however everything works as it should and you have what you need. The owners are updating the building room by room so it won't be long until it is exceptional. Breakfast is reasonably priced (9 Eu) and is good, no bells or whistles but something for most. Overall it's a great place for a good price and the location is perfect."
