This was a very nice, spacious apartment. It was enough for our family of 6 . The apartment had everything we needed. It was walking distance to the beach but we didn't have time to see the beach. Tram and subway is just in front of the building. You can get anywhere very easily by transit. We had little kids and couldn't walk long distances, but there are a lot of nice places walking distance. There is actually a great mall nearby (0.2 miles)for all your shopping needs.
