Stayed here for three days in later October 2023 with my 90 plus year old father. Host contacted us directly to let us know about the steps. Very thoughtful and accessible. She was just lovely and responsive. Easy to access property etc. Great location just a block from sea. Lovely apartment with stocked kitchen. Could do with a larger coffee press, but that is trivial. Apartment was lovely, spacious and spotless. Highly recommend.
