I am a Barista but that coffee machine is difficult. The porta filter burst out and burnt me. Nice of the hosts to provide the machine but rather use all the other Wonderful equipment they do provide.

Reviewed Dec 23, 2025Das Bett
Leider ist das Apartment Ships Bell deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Viele Bereiche sind nicht mehr besonders ansehnlich, was den insgesamt hohen Preis aus unserer Sicht nicht rechtfertigt. Der Grill sollte dringend ausgetauscht werden, ebenso die Balkonmöbel, die sich in einem sehr abgenutzten Zustand befinden. Insgesamt besteht Renovierungsbedarf.

Reviewed Apr 7, 2025We enjoyed the location where your private deck overlooks the pretty harbour. We felt as though we were in the Med! The decor is very attractive and calming in neutrals. The bed and linen used was particularly comfortable! Our hosts had thought of everything we may have required during our getaway. Thank you very much!

Perhaps just a notice that the lock-box opens the box to reveal the key. I thought the keypad opened the door so I did struggle, but upon phoning the agent, she assisted me and we both had a good chuckle.

Arrived at 15h00 still cleaning. Didn't clean the toilet. They fold the carpet and put it where we are supposed to unpack our bags. Cleaned the toilet ourselves. We wore clothes with creases as there is no ironing board. I was sitting on the veranda as I couldn't stand for a long time whilst they were making the bed. They ironed the duvet cover on the bed Woow, there's a lot

Shower never heated up to desired temperature. Pressure of the shower was very bad on all the showers we had at different times . Hence it cannot be a once off issue.

Not much. But to be fussy: - potato masher is too floppy to mash potatoes - an extension lead to enable using the hotplate on the patio would be useful (not great having cooking smells in the living area) -front door rattles in the wind and needs a stopper on the frame A safe for valuables would be nice
