"The apartment was clean and spacious with a very useful kitchen area (fridge, sink, oven, hob, kettle, toaster and coffee machine). The location was perfect - the marina, harbour and main city car park were all within easy walking distance (less than 5 minutes) and despite the housing density we were not overlooked. It was also pin-drop quiet despite us being there during peak tourist season - we slept well. Lots of shops and restaurants were also within easy walking distance as were a number of supermarkets and bakeries. It was a great base to explore the islands from."
