“The rooms were huge and spotless, equipped with a private safe, mini bar, and central heating. Location was just off tapas bars and good restaurants, near the main avenue parallel to Matia Kalea and the beach at the west end of the Concha. We popped into Bar Oliyos for shots before sleep, it wasn't far.”
