Cristina was very helpful and communicative in the weeks before and during our trip. She clearly values her guests' experience. You can't beat the location of the apartment, it's less than a half a block from the beach. There are restaurants and stores and everything you need just outside the door. The apartment is on the ground floor and it gets terrific light. The accommodations are not fancy, but it's everything you need for a beach stay. Personally I enjoy the authentic feel, but it might not be as appreciated by people looking for a hotel experience.
The check-in and check-out was very easy. The beach felt like the 'local' beach as opposed to the main tourist beach (another plus for me).
The area has afternoon winds.
