Yuri was a fabulous host. Super responsive to any issues that we had. The location is outstanding (a block and a half away from the beach), and near restaurants, shops and super markets. The A/C worked great in both rooms, and the shower was excellent - easy to control the temperature and larger than most. There is a large and excellent washing machine too. The wifi was super fast - just be aware that power shuts off when you pull the key card out of the slot when you leave. It then takes the router some time to cycle back on when you return. The apartment is at the rear of the building so there isn't much street traffic noise, but there is some noise from school kids near some school (you can't see where) in the daytime. The view though isn't great - you look at the sides of other buildings and hear the continuous white noise of the building chillers, but its constant and not annoying when trying to sleep. All in all, we enjoyed staying there and we even extended our sty there, and would be happy to stay there again. The 24 hour security is also very good. Yuri's place has everything that you need and is bigger than many similar apartments, and even has a walk-in closet to place your clothes and luggage. Highly recommend staying there if the amenities and location meet your requirements!
