" Just to let you know that my husband Charlie and I had a wonderful break at your apartment. It really did feel like having your own home for a week . At the end of each holiday I am always ready to set off home but this time I felt a bit sad. Thanks for a wonderful week in a beautiful apartment. Left everything just as we found it (shiny clean). Hope to be in touch again.
