Francesco and Francesca were perfect hosts: friendly, welcoming, smart, worldly, communicative (without being intrusive). Francesco (my main contact) was very helpful with information about the area and about transportation to and from the airport. The apartment was super comfortable, clean, quiet (the most comfortable bed I slept in during a long trip involving perhaps eight different accommodations). Transportation to and from the airport is really easy with a bus stop just outside the gate to the apartment, but be sure to check the times, because I don't know how frequently they stop there (maybe once or twice per hour?)
The apartment is just a few minutes walk away from the beaches. I went to a nice public (free) beach, but for those who want more amenities (lockers, umbrellas, etc.), I saw a lot of those, too.
