Lovely apartment, fab location and great value!
Review Submitted: April 15, 2009

The description of the apartment was spot on....it is indeed spacious and very clean. 2 big bedrooms and one small one, good sized family bathroom, small but adequate ensuite, well-appointed kitchen and a large lounge/dining room.
The apartment is well furnished - although glass tables were no fun with sticky fingered children! - and there are some nice finishing touches.
The location was great with a bus stop just outside the door, supermarket about 50 metres away (out of the apartments and turn right!) and some excellent restaurants and shops within a 15 minute walk (turn left!).
Restaurants that we would particularly recommend are Barracuda (fish restaurant - on the expensive side, but well worth it) and Bianco's (small, but lovely food and extremely friendly owner and staff). There is also a wonderful ice cream parlour about 50m away with an excellent choice in ice creams.
There was a problem with builders on the roof turning off the water to the apartment before we arrived, but Alfred (the owner) was extremely helpful and prompt in resolving this for us.
My only gripe was that we went at the beginning of April and the weather was warm, but the apartment was cold at night with only one oil filled radiator which went in the children's room. There are extra blankets, but this wasn't of much comfort to our babysitters who didn't like to go looking in cupboards!
Overall, though, staying in this apartment was an extremely positive experience and one we'd happily repeat.
Owner's Response: We are glad that our guests enjoyed so much their stay in our apartment. Indeed there are always plenty of extra blankets in the cupboards but in addition, our guests may not have realised that the airconditioning unit in the main bedroom is set for heating in winter (heat exchanger) and then the spare bedroom is heated by the oil-filled radiator heater. Apart from these there is another Heat-exchanger Airconditioning unit in the Sitting/Dining room.
