On arrival, my partner and I were already doubting how long we’d be able to grin and bear it in this location. There really is rubbish everywhere. I had read the reviews on Air BnB before leaving and so I knew that the city would be a little rough around the edges. As it turns out, we had no problems at all! The people we met were ever so friendly and welcoming. I loved the man who owns the mini market (mini supermarket) opposite Lucia’s flat. He was wonderful help and sold us a handful of things at super prices. After encountering no problems for the first two days, my partner and I decided to walk in and out of the city centre every day from then on and found a real charm to the city. Sometimes we came back as late as midnight and not once did we feel scared (and we scare easily, trust me). This, of course, may just be our own luck. The apartment was excellent, not far away from the airport and has everything you need. My partner downloaded 4G before we went which made getting to and from places a lot easier. I’m not sure how we would have coped otherwise. We did find the water from the shower went everywhere (this may just be us though) but it was a beautiful bathroom. The apartment is very spacious and clean. Lucia is lovely and really helpful. It was super value for money. My advice is not to bother with the buses-walking into town in the morning doesn't take very long and then I would advise you to get a taxi back at night if you feel a little anxious.
