We loved the rustic charm of the apartment and the veranda is bathed in sunshine every morning to enjoy with your morning coffee. It was a great base to explore the city and there was a number of transport options to get into the heart of the city within 20 to 30 minutes. You will need to use these transport options as the apartment is located in a hilly residence.. so we used the group ticket for 70 euros that gave you 70 trips on bus or metro which is very reasonable and allows you to get to all parts of the city... even the beaches north of the city. There is a lovely bakery right next to the apartment's location where you can enjoy a cafe con leche with a delicious pastry watching the world go buy.
