8/10 Good
"We had a lovely unit in a great location. It had a basic kitchen (small cooktop, convection microwave, sink and dishwasher) and a laundry. The bathroom had a strange layout, with the bedroom cupboards opening into the bathroom (but it worked well). There was only one air-conditioner (in the living area) and no fan in the bedroom - we were there when it was quite cool so it worked well but it may be a little stuffy in hot weather. We loved our stay here - cafes and bars are nearby, and it's near the lagoon."
