The area where this apartment is very safe and clean. Its near the beach and lots of cafes and restaurants. Conchi and her boyfriend were very welcoming and helpful, she doesn't speak English but he does. It was perfect for me as I was attending a conference in a nearby very expensive hotel which was a ten minute walk away. It was basic but clean and great for a place to come and go from. with good access to buses and the metro into the city, wonderful value. I would definitely return if I was attending a conference again, though not sure if I wanted to go for a holiday.
