Gabriella’s place was wonderful. Unfortunately we weren’t able to get to know her, as she had been on holiday for the majority of our stay. The place was adorable, clean, and had everything we would need. The panoramic views of the ocean from her multiple balconies were incredible! We loved sitting outside and watching the sun set. The nearby local beach is only about 10-15min walk, but it is rather dirty with trash everywhere and more rocky than sandy. I would recommend taking the bus to the better nearby beaches (about an hour commute). The surrounding area had lots of condemned looking buildings and loud music throughout the square in the daytime, however we never felt unsafe. It is however very close (5min walk) to a very large and nice park area with a lovely cafe. We loved Gabriella’s place, but if you’re looking to stay near more touristy areas/beaches, you may want to go a little closer.
