We walked out after 30 mins
All the bedroom windows were covered in black mould and the appartment was generally dirty. We walked out after 30 minutes and found alternative accomodation. While the host was initially responsive, they stopped responding after i provided the photos that they requested. The only solution offered was to sebd the cleaning team back in.

Weekend Break
We had a super weekend. The place was spotless, plenty of space and communication with the host was excellent. The local shops etc were varied, quirky and convenient and everywhere, including the beach, is easily accessible.
The WiFi was down for quite a while, which was a bit frustrating but the host couldn't have been more helpful. We'd definitely go again.
