I had a wonderful stay here. The apartment offers plenty of space, a tasteful and modern design, and very comfortable beds with pillows that are pleasantly thin. The location is perfect—right in the heart of the old town, with everything just steps away. The host was extremely helpful, and communication was smooth and responsive at all times. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

The room is spacious, with private bathroom, the facilities are basic but everything just nice: all you need are there. Breads provided in the pantry are nice, we love the coffee flavour one. It is quite self-service based but everything is easy to use, staff also very responsive through WhatsApp. Location is great, walkable to the center. Very quiet at night. Very recommend to young people and friends (but might not be suitable for family with kids).

It's like a whole resort in one building. We booked this last minute and were surprised how much we loved it. Apartment is very big with plenty of space and a nice view of city at night. Beds were comfy, clean with good air con & fans. The TV area was good and finally a comfy couch for a movie night. There were even pods to wash our clothes that dried easily in the heat overnight. Everything you could need in the kitchen too. The floor that has the pool etc is amazing. 1 large but quieter pool in the shade by the gym but the opposite side as a second infinity pool that's very beautiful with a view of the sea. There is a coffee, smoothie and snack vending as well as a little takeaway vending machine for noodles and dumplings etc. You could stay here all day without needing to leave. We did pop in the roof to look at the views and have a peak. Was absolutely deserted and peaceful. We can't really comment on the lifts. We travelled during Ramadan which is apparently a super quiet time for travel. Lifts were fine for us but no idea about the rest of the year. (I only have a picture of one of the second bedroom. My sister stayed in the master en suite which was bigger and a bit nicer than my picture)
