We loved our stay at Paula's apartment near the sea! From the balcony we could see both the river and the sea peaking through the buildings and hills in the distance. The location is a bit out of the way of the center of the city, but close to bus stops as well as a grocery store and we didn't find it to be a problem. We loved the hammock! Paula was so kind and welcoming helping us get situated and giving us a map and telling us about bus routes and the neighborhood.
