Convenient Location

The property is just off the main road, within walking distance to the daily pelican feeding activity area. There are many shops and restaurants nearby. Overall stay was fairly comfortable. Cleanliness could be improved as ants were spotted in the bath area. A washer without dryer within the unit was provided. The kitchen came equipped with cutlery but was without cups and plates.
