The communication with Marilisa in advance of our stay was very good, she's very friendly and helpful. The apartment itself was nice, too. It's very bright and cozy, and the living room-kitchen area is spacious and roomy.
A downside was that there were no closets whatsoever to be used by us, so we had to live out of our suitcases for a week. We also found the beds to be not that comfortable, especially the smaller double bed. The noise from the patio was sometimes too loud whenever a neighbor chose to party.
Binkie the cat was a very friendly and chill roommate who we adored. The beach was about 15 min away by foot, with a beautiful walk through nature. There is a supermarket about 5 minutes away with everything you need.
All in all the apartment had a very private feel to us, which was not totally our thing but can be cool if you do enjoy a cozy, less commercial stay. We'd definitely recommend the apartment all in all with Marilisa being a kind and friendly host.
