The apartment was spotless. I was able to cook with the kitchen setup provided - photos don't do the setup justice. The small shop next door had organic staples and GF bread. A greengrocer is nearby and there are larger grocery stores in nearby larger towns. The space was a bit dark for my liking, but I didn't spend much time there. Noise - to no fault of the owner - from the fireworks and road may keep some awake. It's a safe and short walk - take the back roads - from the airport for early departures and buses around the island. There's also a bus line right outside the front door. Even though it's close to the airport, there is no airport noise. I never met the hosts, but they were quick to respond and answered questions before I arrived.
