The location is perfect with convenient, dependable bus service nearby to travel to many locations. The promenade along the ocean and river is excellent. Train transportation can be easily reached, by bus, to travel to other destinations. We stayed for a month and appreciated Ines getting food for us before our arrival on Christmas day. She also left a rechargeable vacuum in the apartment that was helpful to keep the floors clean. We had adequate implements for preparing meals. Ines was kind to have her brother leave us two extra items that we requested. She was always quick to respond to correspondence. She is a great hostess.
