My wife and I really enjoyed Marina's place. Here is our summary
1) The host - Marina was excellent host. Her communication was very fast and helpful. She provided some wine and water upon our arrival and check in was easy.
2) The apartment - the apartment was amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. The ocean view is beautiful and the place is very spacious, stylish and clean. The sunsets every evening are beautiful.
3) Location - the location is great. It is situated close to many restaurants and bus system. It is only 10-15 min walk to old town.
4) Value - the apartment is priced really well. I imagine a hotel room of that size and view would be very expensive
5) Downside - the only critique we have is the noise in the late evenings and early mornings. The apartment is above bars and restaurants. This was well advertised in other reviews and we prepped in advance by bringing ear plugs and iPad for white noise. But still to note to future travelers that it may be a problem for some. I believe it is more of a problem in peak summer hours than shoulder season or winter.
All things considered we loved our stay and would definitely stay there again.
