About 10 minutes from the airport. Across the road from mini-market and 100m from the main street with lots to choose from. The apartment is very modern and had everything we needed for a family of 3. Edward is an absolute gentleman and could not have been nicer. He drove us to the airport on the way back. Hot & fresh fruit breakfast delivered to the room was excellent
