Barbara is a lovely host! This is great apartment and very convenient as it is close to the beach and restaurants and next door to a bakery. There is a carrefour city across the road too which we made good use of. We did find the traffic noisy as there are rubbish and delivery trucks every day but if you are accustomed to city noises this will probably not bother you. It's easy to walk to the city centre and other beaches too.
