Just a fantastic place, close to the bird colony, whale watching from the shore. Great nature experience.

A bit far from the next shops.

Nice room. Well-equipped kitchen. Good location. Host is quite responsive.

A bit confused about paying to stay at this apartment and still have to clean up after our stay (vacuuming the floor, disposing all trash, pulling all beddings and towels into the bag), but we did it anyway.
