spacious apartment with great amenities

spacious apartment helpful staff easy walk clean decor
I found parking always available, even in august. the reception and bar staff offered excellent help, especially using whatsapp for quick questions. a brief ten minute walk took me to the beach. the apartment and its terrace were expansive and very clean. I appreciated the simple, uncluttered decor.
I noted there were minimal supplies like washing liquid or extra garbage bags. A trip to the supermarket was needed for these items.
