Only three small issues: the bin could do with a lid, there's no shaver socket in the bathroom and we couldn't find a wheelie bi for the property. All minor things it has to be said. We really enjoyed our stay.

The flat was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a perfect stay. We loved the decor and good use of a small space. The location is ideal - the train station and beach are only a couple of minutes away. We will be back.

The flat was very well equipped, and my Son throughly enjoyed staying there. We found that the property had a bit of a damp smell, which although he didn't notice or mind. Recycling for glass, was also a bit unclear. But all in all, good.
