The location is amazing, and looking out at the view having breakfast was stunning. It's functional, the kitchen isn't crazy busy so always space to cook and has aiving room to chill out in.

We need hand towels in the bathroom, but otherwise.

The location was excellent. The sheets were clean and the bed comfortable.

The conditions of the place but for us didn’t matter. Also because we stayed one night.
