We were a group of 10 that stayed. The patio area is lovely and we enjoyed it in the evening - although you had to be aware of the falling oranges. LOL. It was close to a few restaurants and very convenient to the grocery store. However, for our group, it was a bit too far out from the city center for us. We didn't feel comfortable walking to/fro at night although our host gave us advance warning which was greatly appreciated.
