First, I reserved this place for two main reasons. The balcony/view of the water, and the somewhat remote location, away from the tourist hordes. It did not disappoint. The balcony/view was very enjoyable. Fun to watch the boats go by. It is definitely in a non-touristy, locals area. It takes about 15 minutes to get out to the tourist areas. There is a good grocery store nearby. Place was very clean, good heating/ac system. Kitchen very small but we managed simple meals. Enjoyable place.
