  7/10

  Overall, we enjoyed our stay and had a wonderful holiday. The apartment was comfortable, and the location is convenient, with shops, restaurants, and cafés nearby. However, considering the price, we expected a higher level of comfort. We had other accommodation options in the same price range that included breakfast, so we felt the value for money was not fully justified. Some things that were missing and we believe should be provided: * The kitchen had no dishwashing liquid or sponge, so we had to buy them ourselves. * Only one roll of toilet paper was provided for our 10-day stay. * There was a washing machine, but no laundry detergent. * The liquid soap was heavily diluted, and the small amount of shower gel and shampoo provided was not enough for the whole stay. * There was no hairdryer. * The TV was not working properly, and it was unclear whether the issue was with the TV or the remote.

  The biggest inconvenience was the day when there was no water at all, not even cold water, for around six hours. After returning from the beach covered in salt, we wanted to shower but had to spend most of the day waiting in the apartment. I understand this was a city-wide issue and not the host’s fault. However, better communication, an apology, or a small gesture of concern would have made us feel more valued. I would also like to clarify my rating. After checking out, I was reviewing another hotel where we had stayed. Because I had barely slept before our flight, I accidentally selected this apartment and gave it the same low rating. I did not notice I was rating the wrong accommodation. Instead of asking what had happened or how the stay could be improved, I immediately received a message saying that I was “destroying a small business” and that next time I should “enjoy my holiday instead.” This response honestly upset me. Before receiving that message, I planned to correct my mistake, give a higher rating, and not mention these small issues because overall we enjoyed our holiday. However, after that reaction, I decided to share my experience honestly. I corrected my accidental rating and believe 7/10 is fair. The apartment has potential and the location is good, but for this price I expected better facilities, value for money, and more professional communication. The nearest beach is about 10–15 minutes away (sometimes longer depending on the beach but 10-15 is minimum).

  Great stay! The apartment was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Check-in was easy, and the host was friendly and responsive. The location was perfect, it's close to everything but still quiet. I’d definitely stay here again and highly recommend it.
