This house is few miles away from downtown in a quiet residential area. It is a less touristy area. Beach is a short walk away, is nice and long with lot of restaurants and few bars. If you want feel more comfortable and enjoy better service at restaurants, it is better to stay at some hotel or house in downtown area. Lot of comfort restaurants and bars in downtown, and you can meet fellow tourists. if you like to mingle with locals and be un-touristy this area is better.
The house itself is a basement floor which took some fun out of the stay. Second and biggest pain was finding space for parking the car. It is very hard to find. If you have a car, it is better to find a house with parking garage, unless you are willing to park far and walk.
