Summary: Clean, great communication, awesome theme with cutest little details. Small items that made the stay even better - tea, coffee, sugar etc Super close to the bars, restaurants and seafront. The only negative is its very noisy on a fri/sat night from the surrounding bars but they supply earplugs which is a great touch! Loved it and perfect for our girls weekend!
