Stephania and her brother were very gracious hosts. The apartment was well appointed however from the photos we expected a large balcony, it was rather small. The outside of the building was being worked on and had scaffolding all over it and workmen made a lot of noise. This was not something that Stephania could do any thing about. Inside the apartment was lovely, clean and new. You really need a car to get around as it was quite a walk to get to the good beach clubs or old town. We has a great time here.
