I stayed at Bernardo's apartment in early December 2012. Everything was exactly as it looked in the pictures. The apartment is around the corner from the beach in a really convenient and safe location. Everything was very clean. The kitchen is beautiful, there's a washing machine and the air conditioning is perfect. You do get some street noise from the bedroom, but it wasn't anything too disturbing and it's a reasonable trade-off for such a great location. Vera handled all of the checkin and check out and she was absolutely fantastic! Vera even stopped by halfway during my stay to check on me and see if I needed anything. I would highly recommend staying here -- it's a perfect option at a perfect price.
