Disappointed
The hosts were lovely & very helpful. The apartment had all that was needed. I was disappointed to see so much stuff in the wardrobes. I had nowhere to hang clothes in the smaller bedroom. Guests shouldn’t be expected to share the space with other people’s stuff. The apartment needs a declutter.

Thank you for your review Lynn. We are somewhat confused. The items in the 2nd bedroom are clearly for our guests to use and are all listed in the listing. They are all complimentary and have always been well received and appreciated. In the built in wardrobe that you referenced there are 15 plus wooden hangers for your clothes, and 3 empty drawers by the window. In addition there is a second built in wardrobe in the apartment with 4 large shelves and hanging space with a further 10 plus wooden hangers and some additional storage containers for your shoes etc. You had extra guests stay which you did not pay for. Perhaps this is the reason you ran out of space.

Great apartment close to beach.
We had a great stay here. The apartment is lovely and has everything you need. The bedrooms are spacious and comfy and the whole pace was immaculate. And an easy stroll to the beach which is a perfect way to start the day. Highly recommend this place.

Thanks Sue, yes it is great to have seperate bedrooms and be able to have the option to close the bedrooms off from the main living areas, so you can have spaces to relax in if you want to rest, relax or go to bed early. Thanks for staying. See you again.

A great stay!
The place was spacious, clean, and comfortable. It also had loads of entertainment including The Wii and various board games. Location wise, the place is close to the beach, cafes, and bars. The two queen beds were comfortable. Jane and Graham were fantastic hosts to my friends and I. We are very appreciative of our stay in their accommodation. Jane and Graham were friendly, and easily contactable via phone or in person just downstairs. They also offered their recommendations for places to see and things to do.
