Wonderful Coastal Getaway

central location comfortable apartment
The guest house location is central! The staff were friendly. The room provided a comfortable atmosphere. The comfortable apartment had everything I needed. It's not far from the sights I wanted to visit, so I enjoyed my break very much.
The bedding had a stain, and the decor could use an update. The bathroom floor also warped slightly!
