The living area was spacious & we enjoyed sitting on the sofa taking in the views of an evening. Kitchen well equipped. Really enjoyed the outdoor bath. Gabby gave us lots of information & answered any questions we had promptly. The perfect place for us to end our 5 week tour of the island. We were able to chill out & relax. We would definitely recommend Gabby place to everyone.
