We chose to stay at Sonya's place particularly for the location. It was very convenient being a few hundred meters from the esplanade and a short walking distance to supermarkets, restaurants etc. We enjoyed the shady courtyard and the house itself was cool even on the hottest summer days. We didn't meet Sonya in person, but her mother Maria was there to help check in and out. Sonya was very helpful and always responded to our questions in a matter of minutes.
