I had a 1 bedroom unit with a jet spa bath. I absolutely loved it! It was spacious, clean, comfortable beds, 2 bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen and all the amenities that are needed. Tv in lounge and bedroom. It is everything that is advertised and couldn’t have asked for better accommodation. The hosts and owners are very helpful, accommodating, kind and respectful. Efficient check in and check out. What more could we ask for!
