the location of the property is really good - very close to the beach. There are some restaurants and bars close by with the marina a 5 min walk. this helps to make it a quieter location.
I’m afraid this property needs some TLC. While it was clean it was very tired and things were broken. For example the balcony doors in the bedroom did not lock so the room was not secure, the outside of the fridge had been painted with a strange white paint and really badly to cover the yellowing trim. the sofa bed looked very old - I’m glad we didn’t have to use it. The handset to the fan unit in the bedroom had gone missing so we couldn’t use it so had to have a plug in fan provided instead. The other problem we had is that booking.com did not tell the agents who rent the accommodation that we had booked an apartment with single beds. So we had to have quite an uncomfortable conversation to get this sorted. At first they said we would have to pay more for a T2 apartment! The ladies at the offices were very helpful.

Good size room. Clean and well equipped.
Good location easy access to beach and Marina.
Swimming pool is in very poor state. Tiles and pieces of concrete in bottom of pool. Tiles missing from everywhere in pool. Steps have been removed from the deep end. Also pool is only accessible by stairs making it difficult for people with walking difficulties. Only one set of keys which are needed to enter the complex so you must go out together. Late check in charge of 30 euros after 10 p.m. Shower not great.

As we arrived after midnight, we were to contact the host when we landed which we did. However we ill waited about 20 minutes outside the property for someone to arrive with our keys.
The property is very dated and therefore doesn't look very clean. The lift was unreliable, We booked an apartment with air conditioning but were given one without it. When we followed this up, we were told the property was fully booked. The fob for the front door didn't work very well. We were stuck outside and rang the emergency number. They seemed unconcerned about our situation and told us to gently press the fob against the pad. This went on for quiet some time and eventually we were told to walk down an alley and use the rear entrance. No one tried to help us or replace our fob or fix the problem.

3.0 / 10.0
The apartment was roomy and clean
The building was very run down and as for the pool you would wash a dog in it,it was a disgrace.
The lobby door was always left open so anyone could walk in.
8.0 / 10.0
The location is outstanding. Very close to the town center, the marina, and the beach. Everything you might need is at a walking distance.
The apartament is huge. You could comfortably sleep a family of four here.
The kitchen is fully equipped and the AC works well.
You get a pretty decent balcony to chill in.
Staff is nice, welcoming, and quick to respond.
The pool is not in the finest state. It is old and broken. The poolside also is not particularly appealing. It is a shame because the pool are could actually look pretty cool.

Location, price. Late check in.
6.0 / 10.0
The Location was very good, near the beach and lots of nice restaurants.
There was no safe. No free wifi in the apartment, WIFI available only in the reception across the road, another building with limited hours. We were told at check in, that the pool was not available, one of the reasons for picking this property was because of the pool.

Very well equipped apartment. And a nice price.
Pool was very quiet.
There's no internet in the apartment. Finding how to pick up the keys was complicated (although the hosts helped a lot with phone calls), and the reception times were awkward (i.e. difficult to check out before 0900).

Good location. Clean.
No internet. No cable tv. Old facilities. No privacy in the living room, as the living room was open space with the kitchen and the kitchen windows had no curtains. Old swimming pool, without grass areas or shadow.
