I wasn't able to meet our host, but Mônica was communicative every step of the way and understanding of my arrival and departure arrangements which had shifted. The location is fantastic hardly a five minute walk and you are on the beach, amazing restaurants and bars on the street, with shopping close by as well. I didn't end up using but beach umbrella and chair would have been useful had the weather been better for our stay. Small kitchen but includes all working amenities. As I said, hard to beat the location.
