The apartment was great and met all of our expectations for our group of 9. The view was spectacular and the veranda was way bigger than the pictures portray. Arina was a great host answering all of our questions very promptly on the area, transportation, etc...
It was only a short walk to the metro station which can easily get you anywhere in the city. There is a large indoor mall nearby. The beach is just across the street. It is also on the Hop On Hop Off bus route as well. Overall a great experience and I would definitely come back.
