La estancia fue demasiado grata. El personal siempre atento y facilitaron el check in por la noche, pese a que a esa hora ya no estaba abierta la recepción. El desayuno delicioso y vale mucho la pena. Lo único complicado es la ubicación.

Short Break

Really nice place to stay. Excellent apartments with a dishwasher, cooker, microwave and fridge in the room. A small balcony was attached to my room. Excellent shower with good water flow. I didn’t eat in the restaurant but the food looked very nice. Not much in the surrounding areas so you generally had to get a bus to see things. There are several bus stops within a 10 minute walk of the building. 4 or 7 day travel cards can be bought at the airport and are really good value. There is a combination lock on the front door, one of the numbers is a bit “sticky” and you have to hold it until it registers.
