The location is as cool as it seems! Waterfront in the old city, it's beautiful. You have plenty of restaurants to choose from and beautiful views from every direction.
If you're stay falls on one of their festivals, be ready for 8am firework testing (sounds like mortar blasts). It didn't bother us since we were up and around that time of day anyway, but it was startling at first. Other than that, Alberto was extremely helpful and welcoming, giving us all the tips and tricks to the area that we needed. He's a great host and the apartment was fantastic and unique!
