By the time of year we arrived, it was hot and there were a lot of mosquitoes. We could not run the air conditioner (landlord claimed a 5,000 euro fine to turn them on before June 15th) and there were no screens on the windows. Our choices were to be miserably hot or eaten alive by mosquitoes. I am particularly sensitive (have a bad reaction to) mosquito bites. After two of our three nights, we checked out and stayed at a hotel downtown. The apartment was beautiful and the scenery was very nice. However, I would HIGHLY suggest a rental car. It is over a mile each way to the nearest restaurant or shop.
