LOCATION The apartment is located in a residential area 2 km from the city centre. Within a 3-10 minute walk there are shops, supermarkets, restaurants and cafes. As far as public transport is concerned, there is a bus stop 3 minutes away, which ensures easy and economical access to the city center if you don't have a car. For those who have a car, from the parking lot of the building, there is easy access to the city center and the main roads to travel to any part of the island. REMARKS There is a road nearby, and as such there may be traffic noise, which is attenuated by closing the windows. We ask all guests to keep food well packaged to avoid attracting insects due to the island's climate. Cleaning is done before guests arrive and then a weekly maintenance cleaning is carried out, which includes changing bed linen and towels. The increase in the number of guests implies a price increase of up to 10% per person. CONDITIONS 1\. Parties or behaviour that disturb the peace and well-being of neighbours are not allowed, especially between 10 pm and 8 am when neighbourhood noise is prohibited. 2\. An online check-in form will be sent to collect essential identification data for check-in, arrival time and means of transport, which must be submitted by guests at least two days before arrival. 3\.
