The stay was great overall. It is in a good location, about 12 minutes' walk to the beach (post 4).
There are some restaurants that are also walking distance. The location is also in a fairly safe area and there is a locked gate. When I first booked, I was not able to get in touch with Ricardo but a few days before our stay we spoke, and he kept up great communication from then on. The check in instructions were clear. Ricardo allowed me to enter the apartment earlier than typical stay and also allowed us to stay a little longer because our flight was so late at night. He is very accommodative and reasonable. great location, great host, and accurate property description.
