Sofia's place is in a fantastic location, just a minute away from the beach and about a few mins away from the old town. Not only was Sofia a very welcoming and communicative host, but she even came to greet me at the bus stop on my way from the airport. She also left some fresh juice and fruit for me in the fridge, which added a lovely touch to my stay. I loved that Sofia's place was full of art and books, but if you're travelling with children, you'll need to keep an eye on these various knick-knacks scattered around the place. The neighbourhood is also a bit noisy with people often staying up all night until early hours of the morning, so if you're a light sleeper like me, bring your earplugs with you! The view from Sofia's balcony makes it totally worth it though :)
