Grey l studio apartments Corniche Alexandria Little Venice

8/10 Good

"We stayed at one of the apartments with ocean view and the view did not disappoint. Although the balcony was very small, just big enough for 2 small chairs, we really enjoyed watching the sunsets. The location is great, there are many restaurants and coffee places nearby and you can walk to most tourist attractions. it was however very noisy, we recommend earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Also, the property needs some work, it is an old building and it shows. Finally, there is a small kitchenette, but it is not well equiped, no coffeemaker, no microway, nothing really to cook with."
