DeLorenzo's Studio Apartments

DeLorenzo's Studio Apartments

10/10 Excellent
"Loved this place. Such value for money. We had a late check in which was managed by their sister property across the road. The decor was the best. Appreciated the laundry facilities. Had a ground floor apartment near the pool. Perhaps further from the pool if you don’t have kids s not a lot of privacy. Parking was a premium. Only downside was the constantly in light out the back door. Would be good to have this as a sensor light."
