It is a wonderful property right in the centre of town. Spacious and very bright inside. The kitchen was very well equipped, and had a generously sized fridge freezer. There was plenty of comfy seating in the living room, and everyone was happy with the beds and bedding. The utility room was really helpful.We were not on holiday, but needed somewhere to stay whilst we had work done on our house. However the property is close to the beach, 2 different parks, the bus and train station. There is a really good choice of local takeaways and cafes within a few minutes walk.The only negative thing we found was it was a bit dusty in places, also it needed some general maintenance in the bathrooms. A sink that drained very slowly, toilets that don't flush perfectly, toilet roll holder that kept falling off.We had no issue parking our car.I would absolutely recommend this property, it made wish I was on holiday.

We found the unit ideal for our needs, roomy, clean, great location, and a great place to use as a base to tour the area. The hosts were very helpful and great communications. The only isue was trying to park a medium SUV, if other residents have their cars parked it will challenge your driving skills.
