Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
With shopping, eateries and a selection of beaches on your doorstep, this apartment is an ideal choice for a family or group of friends keen to be in the heart of the action. With such a convenient location, there are buildings surrounding the apartment so privacy is slightly limited in places – and there's no air con, so it could get a little warm in summer. That said, the Atlantic Ocean views from the private balcony more than make up for it, and with a choice of free and paid beaches nearby, choosing which stretch of sea to dip your toes in is a breeze.

Home truths

There's no air conditioning available here. It could get a little hot during the summer.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair and baby bath for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
