Very good

We had a great short stay at the island. Good location, we were able to walk to and from shops, cafes, etc but a little further if you wanted to walk to the beach. Despite being on the mail road there was minimal traffic noise in unit 2 and the house was nicely furnished with plenty of room for adults and older teenagers. There were a few minor maintenance issues that could be improved, but nothing that impacted our stay. Loved that it was well stocked with basic condiments and cleaning supplies. The hosts were great to deal with when I had a problem while originally booking the property.
