Lovely sea view from the living room and master bedroom windows. The apartment is located between two busy roads though, so it is extremely noisy especially when you have the windows open. This was mentioned prior to booking though; but we just didn’t expect the noise to be quite so bad. It’s probably ok if you’re a couple staying at this property, but not ideal if you have a small child who is sensitive to noise. You’re also directly opposite the harbour hotel terrace and bar, so it can get noisy with people talking/shouting/music being played until about midnight.
The apartment in general was actually quite dirty. Sticky stair rails, dirty pots and pans, clumps of dust in bathroom, brown water stains on bathroom walls/doors, brown stains on bedside tables. There was a food clip on the window sill by the kitchen sink which had spider webs all around it - so clearly it has not been moved for quite some time. There were also old fruit in the fruit bowl and old cartons of milk and food in the fridge which I assume was from the previous occupants.
The bed was not comfortable at all. It was two beds joined together to make one king bed. I could also feel every single spring digging into my body. It was a miserable week as I was tired and could not get any decent sleep - combination of uncomfortable bed and also my toddler not being able to sleep due to the noise.
The location is convenient, very close to town and actually not too bad a walk with a toddler and being heavily pregnant as well.
Having a parking space was convenient, however you have to be careful if you have a car that’s very low to the ground because you might end up scraping the underside as you join the main road.
