Pros:
Good neighbourhood. Plenty of public transport and taxis. Good restaurants and bakeries nearby. Excellent communication from host.
Cons:
Long walk to the beach/old town. Noisy neighbours (sounded like they were in our apartment at times). Very strong mould smell in bathroom. Hot water supply inconsistent. Water pressure to bathroom sink was poor. A/C unit had unpleasant smell.
Overall, the value was mediocre. I would have booked closer to the beach in hindsight.
