Thamara was the perfect host, warm, helpful, available and very flexible about meeting my needs, such as leaving time. The room and apartment were very clean and provided everything a traveller would need in a kitchen, even down to a jar with safety pins! The location is as described - very close to the beach and a short bus-journey into the city centre or the airport. Not touristy, but having nice cafes and restaurants which mostly locals use. It has the usual sounds of apartment buildings and streets, but no load music/noise. Excellent value.
