Elena is awesome! Apartments are too, but firstly I'm glad to tell that he and Roberto are best people we have stayed at: exceptionally helpful, they offered us far more than just place to stay. In any and every case they offered some solution, hint or help, so we have had no problems.
About apartments itself: they're really cosy, not just a living room, but place to long stay: a fully equipyped kitchen, a bathroom, and, of course, comfortable bed.
There's supermarket just across the road, but for beach and most shops and pizzerias you need to make small walk (about 15-20 minutes or half this time if you're using bikes - included!)
P.S. Ask Roberto for some cool thing!
