I really liked the location of the apartment- it is very close to downtown (5-10 min walking) but outside all the noise in downtown. The apartment is very quiet. The beach is about 25-30 minutes by foot. There is a very nice supermarket close by. I would have liked to have extra towels in the apartment-each person had one towel for face/hands and one towel for shower. We stayed for five nights, the weather was very hot, and more towels would have helped. At times a bad smell was coming from the bathroom, I assume the smell was coming from the sewage system.
