Vanessa’s place is in a great and safe location. Slightly off from the center of the city if you’re micro-location obsessed, but only a 5-15minute metro ride away from pretty much everything. And excellent spot if you enjoy the beach. Lots of restaurants and shops on the neighboring streets. The room itself is of course very basic, although the sleep sofa is a little more comfortable than most. She offers the full apartment for larger groups, which I was able to get a brief tour of. It looks quite nice. No one was there while I was staying because of the off-season so it was kept locked. This room and bathroom are perfectly suitable for short stays if you just need a place to sleep while exploring the city. A beach blanket and umbrella were provided. Vanessa also greeted me in person and is very friendly and communicative. She even brought me some chocolates to thank me for letting her show someone the apartment while I was staying (after checking it was okay with me first, of course). And she provides a full list of recommendations around the area. I’m sure she’d help accommodate anything you might need.
