    The location was centrally located to everything we wanted to see and access while on our stay. The hosts were extremely welcoming and friendly, even made us cookies one night and left in our fridge. The ground are so quiet. We know where we will...

    Property was safe and secure with multiple locks, a very large spacious kitchen, and large showers. The garden area had a bbq, washers and dryers and all neighbours were very pleasant. The walk up to a less busy Langosta Beach was 10 or so minutes...
