Rafael's sister met us and was so sweet and helpful in getting us settled and telling us how to get around. We were happy to run in to her a few times during our visit and to get good advice. Also, Rafael and his wife, Tania, were very helpful in arranging to call taxis for us.

There were 5 of us (two adults and two teens) and this space worked out really well. The flat is quite large, the bathrooms are very nicely remodeled, two of the bedrooms are spacious with tons of storage. The third room is smaller but very quiet which makes up for it. One thing I did not expect was the awesome laundry area. I loved having a large protected outside area to hang things after the beach or after washing. The air conditioning is only in the living room so spent much time there but also appreciated the ceiling fans in each room. Those were key, especially since we were there during a heat wave. The bakeries downstairs were amazing as was the restaurant area a few blocks away. It was like a movie set of charming, fashionable eateries. Our stay was very comfortable and we would love to stay here upon a return.
