It is a little bit out of the way, but it is on the coast, and less than a minute walk from the beach. The historic and tourist part is a 15 minute bus ride away, but it is along the river, so it isn't bad. The view of the ocean is a plus. Bus stops are less than a minute walk from the apartment. Cute little wine restaurant directly across the street. I would definitely recommend it and I would definitely stay there again.
