We have just stayed in this property for the second time and found it just as good as the first time. The flat is small but well organised, with a well-equipped kitchen and decent shower in the bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and we slept really well. There is little traffic noise as the flat is at the back of the building. The lift is an added bonus for this third floor flat.

This was a lovely stay in a beautiful area. The appartment was comfortable and well-equipped and the location was very convenient for everything. This was a great holiday and I would return.
