    The view was spectacular from our own private terrace. We ate in both nights to enjoy the view. Well equipped and very comfortable. Joan was also helpful but onobtrusive so we felt very at home.

    This apartment was lovely, with a terrace and a fantastic view. Unfortunately, I couldn't really enjoy it as I stayed only for two nights because of an event in Russell. The Owner was very friendly, and I felt very comfortable there.
