The apartment's location was fantastic! So close to so many amazing restaurants and bars, walking distance from the beach, and the bus to the botanical gardens stops at the end of the street. Brilliantly located, and the host's communication was great, with fast, helpful replies to all my questions during out stay. The apartment was noisy during the day (there are roadworks very close by so constant drilling), but we loved how quiet it was at night (really rare for somewhere so close to so many brilliant amenities). The only drawback was the temperamental shower, but the host was very patient with my questions about getting it to work, and I'd have loved to be able to use the bath, though the host was again very thoughtful in explaining that plugs were not provided for environmental reasons.
