Have to take buses #3, 11 or 34 into town, about 20 minutes' ride. I preferred being out near the water where good breeze kept temperature cooler than in town. Bus stop a few minutes' walk, super market about 8 minutes' walk. Apt does not have air conditioning, but it really is not needed. Hostess speaks/understands English. Teaches Spanish to people wishing to learn the language. Long-term room rental available + demi pension (breakfast + dinner) can be arranged. She's a good cook. Whatever your needs, she does her best to accommodate. I would gladly have stayed a month had I had the time.
