Communication was difficult as my phone was not working in Italy .
I did not have a car but thought the "2km from the sea" would not be a problem . It is not 2km by foot or car though - it's a good 30 min walk (after 5 days it was 20 min). It is difficult to find at first ....
However, loved the apartment - totally . If you font like crowds, don't mind a walk (if you don't have a car) this place us definitely value for money. It is a very comfortable home - loved it
