Fantastic apartment

Great location, exactly as advertised. Bright and clean … small but not crowded. Stairs are intense, but no more so than the village itself.

Absolutely stunning view

If you are in shape and want a stunning view this place is for you! The steps are no lie and after a full night can be a bit challenging in the heat and humidity to climb. Overall would recommend for the view alone! The shower is one of the smallest I've ever been in and the light switches are bizarrely placed but other than that it is a fantastic location and place to stay!
