The welcome pack is a delightful touch, although not guaranteed. Some concerns over cleanliness and maintenance are noted, but the overall experience is positive, with many looking forward to returning.
Reviews indicate a generally satisfactory level of cleanliness, with clean bedding and towels highlighted. However, several guests mentioned issues such as windows needing cleaning, dust, and unclean kitchenware, suggesting room for improvement.
The location receives high praise for its proximity to the sea, local dining options, and the beautiful views it offers. It is considered a highlight and a central aspect of the positive experiences shared by guests.
The comfort of the apartment is well-regarded, with mentions of a comfortable stay and good quality bedding. Some guests, however, found the lounge seating uncomfortable and suggested improvements could enhance the overall comfort.
Facilities are generally appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen. Criticisms include the need for larger TVs, better lighting, and maintenance issues such as shower temperature control and appliance functionality, indicating a need for attention to detail.
While some guests were delighted by the welcome pack, others noted its absence. As gifts are not consistently mentioned across reviews, it is not possible to accurately assess this category, and thus the score is set to null.
