I did not actually meet the host but she made the apartment very welcoming with a basket of food and juices for me. Also had tourist books and brochures available in apartment. She was very flexible about check in and out times. Very easy check in and out (key left at reception desk in lobby).
Apartment clean and comfortable. Well furnished. Has air conditioning and ceiling fans. WiFi worked well. Great location. Walking distance to beach. Many local restaurants nearby. Easy access to public transportation.
