3/5

Don't go by the photos, the studio we were allocated was nothing like them. It was clean and housekeeping came from Monday to Friday but not at weekends. However there was no oven, so cooking was limited. The lack of plugs in the kitchen meant not more than 2 appliances could be used at the time. Utensils etc were of poor quality eg. blunt knives, no small spoons. The bathroom was clean but no grab bars by the over bath shower meant slipping was always a possibility. There was only one mirror in the whole place (over the bathroom sink) and that was cracked. No hairdryer which was surprising as most places provide one. The beds were rather lumpy. The whole place looks tired and doesn't appear to have kept up with modernisation. Also be warned, the shop is closed and unless you are reasonably fit, the walk to either the beach ( average 5euro taxi) or the supermarket isn't doable for anyone with mobility problems. Having said all that, the owner was very friendly and helpful. The food in the restaurant was very nice and reasonably priced. The view over the gardens (not part of the same complex ) from the balcony was very pleasant while eating breakfast. All in an interesting place, but we won't be back.
