Lovely infinity pool. Shame it’s not heated. This the jewel in the crown. Nice enough apartment. Could do with more glasses but actually the kitchen is quite decent. Bathroom needs a deep clean and the balcony door could be more secure. Would recommend and stay again though, although it’s quite pricey compared to some other nearby blocks.
