Malu was very responsive and the place is extremely secure and right across the street from the beach. Everyone at the hotel was friendly. Usually one check in person spoke English which was a nice bonus. The place is small, but exactly what we needed, laundry available and the beach is stunning, especially at sunset. You can hear the waves from inside the house. Marketplace downstairs and lots of small beach restaurants nearby also across the street. A wonderful neighborhood farther from the city center and many tourist spots, but in a very safe neighborhood unlike some of the more popular neighborhoods.
