This place was great for my needs. I wanted to be far enough away from the city, but close enough to go if I wanted. There are 2 buses that go from the downtown/train terminal to the house; 12 and 12/. Both will take you to the house, but 12 takes you to the pomodoro beach. It takes about 20 min. Once there, Annalise is extremely helpful and the neighborhood is friendly as well as safe. You can walk to the ocean or to get food; pizza, seafood, and focaccia bread! This place is so different from anywhere else; far from tourists and tourists traps. I miss it already.
