    On arriving at the property we were able to access the keys and then park underground in a designated parking space. On entering the apartment we were stunned by the view ( over the seafront from the balcony) and the size of the living space. The kitchen was well equipped and we had a dining area as well as two large sofas. The two bedrooms were large and each effectively had its own bathroom. Access in and out of the building was easy and there are many restaurants very close by. What a beautiful flat!
