The place we stayed pretty much has the right feel-at-home feel. Has all the basics you need, and then some more at the kitchenette. I enjoyed having my "home-made" coffee while reading a book at the terrace. A lot of places to go, all walking distance from there. Specially if you are into nightlife or some shopping, or just walk to the shore to see the sunset.
Flora is very warm welcoming, very accommodating. We didn't have to worry about anything, she is quick to respond and arrange things such as local transportation for us. And most of all, we enjoyed our conversations with Flora, talking about how it was growing up there and then the local scene. This is something I enjoy everytime I travel, conversations with people who actually lived at a place where I am just passing by as a traveler.
It was a short stay, but we really enjoyed it.
