Maria is a lovely host and was easy to communicate with. The apartment is exactly as per the description, 2 grocery stores on the road, opposite a Cafe and around 7-8 minute walk to the town centre and bus stop with a local beach just 450m from the house we found it very easy to cool off at the end of the day. The bus stop to Santa Maria beach is on the road too. I ran to Santa Maria for my morning jog and it was a lovely safe run. We all had a lovely stay! Definitely recommend.
