Nice property. It is about a 20 minute walk to the restaurants if that matters to you. Why do you need the cumbersome set of keys to EXIT the pool area? Not very safe.

Safe, quiet. Need to clean the daddy leg spiders in the entrance hallway and maybe spice it up with a picture so you feel welcome when you come to the apartment each time. When we first came in it would have been nice if the Heatpump was on at a comfortable temperature. Shower is unusually small. Overall good but for the money I would still search around for better luxury unless you love the boats out look. Space wise the room is very good.
