There are pro's and cons to the apartment. Cons: No real shower, its a sml hand held hose in a bath and the toilet is facing a wall with no leg room, so you have to sit on it at an awkward angle. The mattress's and pillows need to be upgraded on the beds. Pro's: Lovely balcony, loads of towels and kitchen supplies, within walking distance of Spinola Bay for dining and close to a bus stop, Julia was very flexible with our check in/out times and responded almost immediately to comments.
