The apartment was small but adequate, the bed firm and comfortable. The kitchen was minimally equipped, but Laura very graciously gave us a few extra utensils and staples, and we cooked quite often. The location is very close to the beach, but it is two streets back, so no ocean view; there is a terrace, as advertised, but it overlooks a small courtyard completely surrounded by buildings. Overall, it was a great value, and Laura helped us when we needed anything.
