Nice apartment, although this was the first time we have stayed in a ground floor apartment. It was slightly dark, didn't get as much light as the upstairs apartments and noise from the upstairs apartment was very loud at times. Also the outdoor patio although nice, not very private with people walking past constantly.

This apartment was immaculate. Very well appointed with lovely hosts. The only thing I could say that I find frustrating is that when you have a full kitchen and there are no basics such as cooking oils and condiments that you need very little of and the local grocery store is really expensive for these items. Otherwise, it really had everything and we had a wonderful stay.

Have stayed here a few times and always friendly welcoming service, property is always clean and has everything you need right down to the body moisturizer. There is insufficient parking to the number of apartments, so if you are to slow you will have to park on the road which is not ideal. A property of this caliber I would expect my own carpark.
