Mersib (Mercedes) is a lovely lady and a great host. We would not hesitate to stay with her again. The apartment is just across the road from the beach and El Balneiro, a great all day, late night, beach bar. The city centre is 25 minutes on foot, but only 5 - 10 minutes by one of the many regular buses buses that depart 1 minute from the apartment. One small issue might be bathroom availability if all the rooms are let.
