Most guests found the apartment to be very clean, with several positive comments on its tidiness. However, a few reviews mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as dust and uncleaned areas, which slightly lowers the score.
The location is highly praised for its stunning views and proximity to the beach and local attractions. It serves as an excellent base for exploring the area, contributing to a high score.
While many guests enjoyed the views and the sound of the waves, there were several complaints about the hardness of the bed and the impact of street lights on sleep quality, which affects the comfort score.
The apartment is generally well-equipped, but there are recurring comments about the need for more crockery, a better TV signal, and minor maintenance issues like the shower head and door locks. These comments suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.

On arrival we were very disappointed to find a very dirty apartment. The floors hadn't been cleaned and were covered in food debris and hair. I had to get on my hands and knees with a brush and dustpan and sweep all the floors, including the carpets. Then I had to wash the crockery and cutlery as they had dried food stuck to them. The kitchen work surfaces also had food debris and spilt coffee on them. This was not the start to my holiday that I expected. The toaster also didn't work unless you held the button down. Once the apartment was clean we had a lovely holiday. Just a shame basic cleanliness wasn't addressed.

It was clean and we appreciated the gift of milk and Welsh cakes. The exterior of the building and the stairway looked a bit run down, but the position of property made up for that.

Nice and clean and well equipped, and good WiFi. Now for the negatives, the bed was so hard I have never slept on such an uncomfortable bed, and the TV is not good, it uses analogue signal which is unwatchable. That said I would stay again, just take my own blow up mattress and tablet.
