Once we were able to stay in the apartment, it was spacious and comfortable, with good facilities and a well equipped kitchen. Svetlana helped us greatly and was quick to respond to any questions we had.

We found out there was no hot water via a WhatsApp message when we were in the taxi heading to the apartment. Svetlana had arranged for us to stay in another apartment very close to original but only 2 rather than the 3 bedrooms we had booked. The taxi wasn’t able to drop us at the door as it was on a private road, which was more hassle. We arrived Wednesday night and the hot water was returned Friday evening. I noticed on the boiler it had not had the annual service which was due in July. The issue that caused such a significant problem may have been picked up and the difficulties we experienced may be have been preventable. There are also a lot of noisy parrots in the trees outside the apartment!

The property was immaculate and in great location - 5 min walk to shops and restaurants, 5 min walk to beach, 10 min walk to railway station. Small supermarket across the road which had all the essentials. There was an excellent Welcome Handbook which had everything about how to operate the heating/air conditioning to places to dine and see.

The pool was very cold but that’s probably down to the time of year (October).
