The apartment was just as described! The views were amazing - sitting on the balcony and watching people was very relaxing. Being from the USA, no a/c was hard to get accustomed to but a cold shower and some fans helped. There was a carnival out front each night for our kids to enjoy but I believe it was just a coincidence that it was there for our week. The fruit market just outside our door was amazing for breakfast each morning. I tried to use the washer with quick help from Eric but unfortunately couldn't understand how to run it lol. Eric was able to respond quickly to my questions which was very helpful as Blanes was not much English.
Overall it was a beautiful trip and a fantastic location!
