Sergio kindly collected us from the airport for a nominal charge. This was helpful as it would have been tricky enough to find the apt initially. We met him once by chance during our stay and he was helpful and informative regarding public transport, restaurants, running routes etc. Although it appeared to be off the beaten track, once we got our bearings, the appartment was really quite close to the town center. The neighbourhood might not suit everyone as it is off the tourist trail and a bit grotty, but this was one of the things we liked (to be living in a locality as opposed to living with other tourists) At no stage did we feel uncomfortable or unsafe walking in the area.

The apartment is new. It is quite basic but with the all the necessary requirements, plenty of hot water and great air conditioning. It was spotlessly clean. There were two cooking rings but no oven, grill, toaster or coffee pot which we would have appreciated. I think it would be useful to replace the washing machine with some cooking facility. Any washing we needed to do was done in the sink.
