First of all, Edwin always responded to my communications on a very timely basis. He had clear instructions for checkin. Maria, Ed’s mother, was the person who checked us in. She let us in early, showed us the unit, made sure we could lock and unlock the door (not as simple as you would think so make sure you can work the locks before she leaves) and even left us some fresh milk. She was wonderful and made us feel at home. Her English is excellent.
The apartment is in a lovely area and the living room balcony overlooks a park area. You can walk to the cafe/bakery in 1 minute. The downtown area is about 3 miles away and is on the ocean with lots of shops and restaurants. We took an Uber because we would be drinking wine with dinner, the Uber was less than 4 Euros. The unit is fragrance free with no musty smells - very important for those of us with allergies.
