Family Homes - Apartament Sonoma

We came here for a family break by the sea. The apartment was warm, clean, quiet, and nicely equipped without being fancy. The woman who gave us the keys was lovely and let us in before 4 PM, which we really appreciated. There isn't a reserved parking spot for the apartment, though finding a place to park wasn't an issue. We don't usually return to the same place, but I'd recommend this one.

The apartment was alright, but I left with mixed feelings. The terrace was covered in seagull mess, and I was nervous about going out there in case they came at me. Parking was confusing: there are four spaces by the building, three supposedly available, but in practice you can't park there. You can find free spaces nearby, though they're for residents. If you do manage to park along the fence, you'd better not move, because someone else will take the spot straight away. Communication from the service was only average, and nobody got back to me about the problems I reported.

I strongly recommend avoiding this place. We first booked through Booking.com, then arranged two apartments by phone as well. The photos suggested a much higher standard, but what we got felt like a disaster from the communist era and looked nothing like the pictures. The Booking.com booking was canceled, while the cash reservation unfortunately went ahead. We had asked for apartments close together, and the person apparently thought that meant it was fine to send us to places that looked like they were from the 1980s. Of the 590 PLN, only 300 PLN was refunded, and the police got involved. From the conversation, it sounded like this had happened before. Shameful. I don't recommend this person or this place.

The owners were friendly, and we had a large, clean apartment with the basic things we needed. We stayed for a week in May at the Harbor Apartment, about a five-minute walk from the sea. I'd recommend it.
