"Apartment was clean. Bed was like a trampoline and very springy and soft. Needs upgrading. Could do with some Tupperware, like a jug and maybe some bowls. Maybe 2 wine glasses and not just the one with a bunch of horrible plastic ones. Other than that was a good location to walk to pubs and beach. Yes I would stay again."
