We greatly enjoyed our stay at Cynthia's apartment. The location was perfect to get the most out of the main sights in the city during our short stay. The English Garden and the surfers are right there, and the walk all the way through the historical district was very manageable.
Food options are a bit of a walk, but if you are looking for a great breakfast place nearby we recommend Cafe Queen 43, just a 12min stroll north along the Garden.
Cynthia's apartment was very clean and comfortable. The shower was wonderful. It's all simple and straightforward, but it's all you really need. I appreciated the extra towels and washcloth.
Checking in wasn't hard. Only thing that tricked us up was that we forgot that, what we in America consider to be the first floor, is actually the ground floor. Therefore the apartment is actually located on what we'd consider to be the fourth floor. Luckily it didn't take us long to figure that out.
Overall we'd gladly recommend Cynthia's place. We'd love to stay there again on a return trip.
