We stayed at esmeraldas place a couple of weeks ago and just loved the location. She greeted us from the water taxi drop off and it is only a 3-5 minute walk from her apartment. There is a grocery store 2 minute walk from the apartment if you need to grab snacks or groceries to make breakfast. Everywhere you need to go is within walking distance, which should only take a maximum of 10 minutes. There are good restaurants around her area as well and reasonably priced. We would stay here again!
