Great choice near the beach. The apartment is thoughtfully and artistically decorated and very comfortable. Ricardo is a gracious host. He booked our 5 am taxi to the airport and also helped us out when we went to the botanical Gardens (highly recommended!) I thought they would have taxis outside, but no. When I called the taxi company I got the answering machine and had to wait on the line. Since calls from my cell are expensive I texted Ricardo and he got a taxi to us pronto. Ricardo is there to be of service if you need anything and I felt like I had a friend nearby if I needed it. This is especially comforting in a foreign county.
