The apartment itself is a little older, but goes along with the age of the neighbourhood. Vania was very good with communication, and her business partner Giovanni was ready to greet us as soon as we arrived. The apartment itself is a good size, and the listed description is accurate. The location is absolutely amazing - only a block away from a very nice beach. Also, walking distance to many good restaurants and shops. We would stay here again. One last note - Vania was awesome, she got a small dress as a gift for our 6 month old daughter - could not ask for a better host!!!! Giovanni was close by at all times if we needed immediate assistance. A laundry machine is also included! Excellent addition!
