The location of the apartment is on a quiet alley hidden from any major street. The whole place was very spacious and having a bathroom downstairs was convenient. It is centrally located from all major attractions, and walking everywhere was easy. The beach is about 3 miles away, but you pass some major sites along the way, so it doesn't seem as far. There are plenty of restaurants and grocery stores, as well as locals, so it doesn't seem as "touristy", it makes you feel like a local. The patio in the back was a major plus, including the hammock!
