The area was good, not as touristy as the sea front, plenty of shops on the street below. Great pizza from the baker across the road.
Laura provided breakfast for us every day, which we had actually forgotten about so that was very welcome. The language barrier was a small problem but we used Airbnb's translate feature to communicate well enough.
The balcony - or balconies - are simply wonderful. The pictures here don't do it justice.
