This was a wonderful stay! The free beach is really 5 minutes walk from the apartment. There are also beaches with all the umbrellas and bars (these ones are not free:-)) in the area there are shops, cafes, everything you need. The apartment is fully equiped with all the necessary appliances - oven, washing mashine etc. Mary is a super-host! She welcomed us with cold water and juices in the fridge:-) She explained everything with details and even showed the area of Margherita. We totally recommend this accommodation!
*one info - the apartment is situated on the third floor with no elevator, which might be problematic for disabled or people with poor health ... For us (family with 2 kids) it was absolutely no problem, as we like sports:-)
