Though if the apartment could have done with a modernization, especially in the bathroom, but for that, we would give it a 5-star rating!
Having said the above, we have stayed in hotels and apartments that had 5-star rating, around the world, where we had travelled when younger, they would not have measured up to the Seaview. Our stay was great with a very long balcony overlooking the esplanade. Sad it may be, being so close to getting a 5-star from us, it was a cat's whisker of being so!
If you are looking for an apartment where it really feels like home, this would rank up there almost the perfect getaway. Would we stay there again? My oath we would, without a second thought; will we revisit the Seaview soon in the future? My oath we would.
