Four Seasons in one Day

10/10 Excellent
"Super clean and well appointed property. The apartment had a homey feel and I loved all of Astrid's artwork hanging all over. The check in process was super easy, Astrid took the time to add some personal touches and leave a few juices, eggs and jam to welcome me! She stopped by on day 2 to make sure everything was good and was available via message at all times. The property is so peaceful with beautiful gardens, views and outdoor areas. Super close to bus options and the beach is just a 5 minute walk down hill. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!"
