Good apartment for short stay

It’s a good apartment stay. While the entire building faces the sea we had the pool view so not all apartments face the sea. Only the bigger apartments. The garage is big and each apartment can park two cars. Problem is leaving the garage for the first time we were confused as there is no instruction about taping the knob at a device on a pillar far from the gate. Apartment is spacious for four but heating is only available in the living room not in the rooms which were cold during our stay. The kitchen is sufficiently stocked but lacking in utensils that we need for cooking. Overall it’s a pleasant stay.
