First of all: Highly recommended! We had a great stay in a beautiful room, very clean and pleasantly cool, which was a huge relief in the summer heat. The beach is only a stone's throw from the place (it is as close as the pictures suggest).
Manuela had a look out for us when we came to the address and gave us a warm welcome. She explained everything we needed to know to find our way around the area. Also she ordered a taxi for us to pick us up at night to go to the airport and she coordinated it so that another guest could join the ride. Manuela is a really kind, attentive and well-organized host.
One of our personal highlights: While sitting outside and having coffee, a really cute cat stopped by and added even more sweetness to our morning routine.
One piece of advice: Public transportation may not be the easiest way to go downtown but as others have commented, there are various options. It's fairly close to the airport which also was very convenient; taking a cab to get to the accommodation was very comfortable, especially with the luggage, and definitely not expensive.
Thanks again for a great stay! :)
