it was exactly what I wanted. The room had a breathtaking view of the sea, and a balcony I could sit on with my laptop and do a little work.

it's 13 minute walk from the bus stop, which is on the outer periphery of the city center. great restaurants nearby and a beach about 30 steps from your room. the Internet connection isn't totally solid; i had to take my laptop out to the hallway a few times to reconnect to the network. then it would work again.

the host family was helpful. i was given fresh fruit on arrival. good times
