The neighborhood was a mixture of apartment buildings and beauiful old homes. Her home is a lovely old mansion and the apartment is their guest house. It is a very nice 2 bedroom 2 story apartment and has all the necessary amenities. Simona is very helpful with directions and getting you anything extra you might need. This is a great location. One block from the beach and bus and train station makes it very easy to travel. Great little cafes within easy walking distance. Would highly recommend this rental.
