Sadly we did not get to meet Chris but his dad, Mario was a treat. He meet us at the door with a gift and showed us around the neighborhood. The apartment was nice and clean and was just a short walk from the beach. There are grocery stores around but if you want to save a buck and you're willing to go a bit further there's a lidl and supereco bot too far. Overall the place was perfect for our stay and I wish we could have stayed longer.
