The apartment was very conveniently located with close proximity to playgrounds, restaurants, the grocery store and a short taxi ride into the old city (or 20 min walk). The balcony over looks the ocean and had stunning views but we found the beach right in front to be quite dirty (perhaps because it was off-season in Feb and was not cleaned regularly). But there are other lovely beaches on the East side of the port (a short taxi ride away). The apartment was a comfortable size for 4 adults and two children. We had issues with the hot water throughout our stay but our host did try to fix the issue and was very responsive. We found it very loud one of the nights due to the music playing in the restaurant/bar directly underneath the apartment. We felt the vibration and noise from the music until after 4 am. This was only an issue for 1 of our 4 nights so perhaps it was an exception. Just something to be aware of especially if traveling with young children. This noise was of course out of the control of our host.
