This is an outstanding apartment in a great location. Spacious and modern with a nice view from the balcony. It is in a busy area and there is sometimes just a little bit of noise from the street and the street-level bars, but the apartment is on the top floor of the building and it was generally pretty quiet, especially with windows closed. We were there during summer and the AC is very effective. We didn't cook during our stay, but the kitchen is well-equipped. No wifi or internet TV, but the DTV is good and we didn't miss the other features. Beach, public transit, shopping, and restaurants are conveniently close. Joe is an extremely gracious and helpful host who responded very quickly. We definitely plan to stay here on our next visit.
