the apartment is just lovely with a huge terrace. nearest beach is just down the hill about 250m. one of the best restaurants in the city and a few others are just a couple of hundred meters away from that beach. nearest bakery is just down the hill. The place is about 2 km from the old town - on the route is a nice restaurant to stop by. the old town is full of nice restaurants. The big tourist hotels and beaches are on the opposite side of the city so you will avoid the beach noise. the place was just excellent and hosts gracious.
