If you wish to be more independant, why not choose a self-catering formula.
I can offer you a studio apartment situated only a few steps from my home. Its situation thus offers the same advantages :
city centre
close to the beaches
close to all conveniences
close to transport (trains, bus, tram)
This studio apartement has a spacious balcony, and is ideally equipped to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Consult the fees.
