"The moment we entered the apartment we felt at home. It was clean, well appointed with superb views across the bay. The property has its own car parking space in an underground car park with a safe storage area for surf boards etc. The main bedroom has an en-suite and the main bathroom was well equipped.

"We loved the layout and the location was fantastic - a really short drive to the beach. Unfortunately it smelled quite badly of cigarette smoke and the washing machine smelled musty so we had to use the laundromat on site instead. We would have liked to have had some USB plugs. "
