Marieke's and Alfons's apartment is divine. It's beautifully designed and spacious, very comfortable, clean and quiet. The kitchen is great for preparing meals and they even outfit it with a french press and milk frother for coffee, plus a bullet blender for smoothies. The view out the front and kitchen windows are unique and lovely, and since it's right by the seaside pathway you can people watch from above or join in the comings and goings below.
As hosts, Alfons and Marieke are authentically welcoming and helpful. Any time I needed something, they shared suggestions and recommended resources.
The next door restaurant serves delicious afternoon meals on Fri, Sat, Sun and some holidays, weather permitting. There are many other nearby options to choose from. Fruterías up the street have excellent produce and a larger supermarket has everything else.
We rented bikes and got around exclusively by bike, bus and foot. The outdoor exercise parks were a surprise treat.
