Great apartment, exactly as expected from the description and pictures. It was a perfect pick for our group of 5. Its placed very central within walking distance from pretty much everything. Malaguetta, the beach, is a pleasant 20 mins walk and it's probably more than you can expect from a city beach- long, wide and not too crowded. Contact with Maria was great and hassle free! The only two points that are probably worth knowing before you book this place, is that it's pretty noisy. There are basically no doors between the floors so you pretty much hear everything in the house. As its placed in a popular area the street noise is quite significant, ranging from traffic to loud drunken crowds till wee hours of the morning. Ear plugs are a must if you wish for a good night's sleep. The second little downside are the steep winding stairs. Even small carry -ons need a tricky approach, so I wouldnt recommend this place if you re travelling heavy. All in all, Id recommend for short city trips
