    Stain on stairs carpet, obviously some damp issues on entrance, outside terrace needing cleaned, bed not very comfortable, no sockets near mirror in bedroom for drying hair etc., mirror in bathroom should be above the sink, a few tweaks and apartment would be exceptional.

    Location, near waterfront and close to local shops and bars.

    It was a bit dark inside with no natural light & there was 2 internal doors joining to our room ( locked ) but it felt like we was sharing our apt with other guests & could hear everything from the apt above us clearly .

    The location was fab , the bed was comfy & the shower was great .

    First impressions a very large stain on hall carpet and a very bad smell of damp. Cobwebs in bathroom and on lights. Badly needs a new mattress for the bed. Balcony door didn't lock - no key leaving apartment unsecure. Balcony hasn't seen a brush in sometime paint all over table and chairs. This apartment is in an ideal location with some tlc it could be a wee goldmine. Felt we overpaid for what we got.

    A great location

    Good location near the harbour, but not a luxury apartment.

    Stair carpet was drab and for first impressions not good. The kitchen bin had waste from previous guest and ceramic plant pot on balcony an inch of cigarette butts and water - it stank. I had to take both waste downstairs and put in bin on street. Before leaving, we deposited our own rubbish in the same way. Only white cups & saucers, no China mugs. All white crockery, thereby lacking colour / style. In bathroom, a 2 ft long cobweb running the length of the ceiling above the shower. Shower water drained away too slowly, so standing in water for a brief shower. Had difficulty getting the password to work, as the typed note on the wall mirror was incorrect. We finally found a faded piece of paper on the microwave with hand written password. With the above mentioned, it was not a luxury apartment. I stated all these points to the receptionist at the hotel where we collected the door key. Now I have written the above down, the apartment was quite unfavourable for our 1 night stay and the cost did not reflect what we got.

    We self catered. Quiet in the evening. Kept cool in the hot weather by opening the windows. Cooked our own dinner. Near to the harbour for an evening walk and a run and walk in the morning before breakfast. Spacious interior to put our belongings. Comfortable bed and soft towels. Shelving space in bathroom. Good lighting. We choose the apartment as close to the harbour for walking. Felt safe.

    we were not told that there would be a staircase up to the property with a very dangerous top step with rlimsy railings The shower tray did not empty sufficiently. After three minutes it filled up and would have overflowed had we not turned off the shower. We could not close the blind over the bed which meant that the light came in at 5 am in the morning and considerably reduced our sleep. The property was described as luxurious but it did not have a dishwasher and the crockery and glasses were a weird assortment which looked as if they had been taken from a charity shop. double yellow lines on the road outside the apartment along with hit or miss parking opposite the apartment makeloading and unloading luggage difficult . This is not a luxury apartment

    The property was in an ideal position to visit our family.

    The property is linked to another apartment with two doors where you can hear everything they should be blocked up. Also can hear every sound from upstairs.

    Needing attention: several missing light bulbs, lack of small glasses, right-hand bedside shelf fixing loosening. There is no warning that central heating radiators are not operational. Had to call for information about heating. Although wall mounted and freestanding radiators eventually warmed sufficiently, shower room had no heat.

    Excellent location, stylish design and furnishings, comfortable bed and sofa.

    key collection was easy however they could have given us better instructions on how to get to the property. It took a us a while to find it.

    The property is very spacious and we particularly enjoyed the balcony which has a decent view of the hotel in the big hill. The property is close to all the amenities in town and close to beach. The flat was very clean and the kitchen has got a fair amount of kitchen supplies. Comfy bed too.

    No dislikes really. I personally felt the bed could have been better, but that’s personal taste/comfort. Parking near to the property isn’t easy during the day, so there had to be a bit of musical cars in the evening to try and grab some on street parking across from the apartment. However, it’s not exactly a big town so the main car parks at the harbour aren’t far away

    Perfect location and a very comfortable stay for a mini break. Very spacious and airy.
