Spaceous and modern 1 bed apartment in a quiet area only 5-10 minutes walk from the centre. Nice shower and small balcony with a view of the sea / cruise ships. Note that in Spring 2024 there is a building site next door but it wasnt too noisy. Has a car park outside with designated space. Note that the entrance is very steep (as are many of the side roads in this part of town). The buses are many and regular - we used them for some trips but rented a car for 3 days to visit the more distant northern parts of the island.
Sehr ansprechende Wohnung. Kleinere Mängel wurden umgehend behoben. Die Gräusche des el. Tiefgaragentores unter der Wohnung können mitunter als störend empfunden werden. Die Lage der Wohnung ist sehr gut, Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Restaurants sind nur wenige Gehminuten entfernt.

L'appartement est très bien situé, mais comme la porte de garage est sous L'appartement le matin et en fin de journée nous l'entendons.
Il y avait beaucoup de fourmis et les ustensiles de cuisine sont vraiment de bases.
