I highly recommend Alfred's place and would definitely stay here again. It is newly remodeled and very modern with all the amenities you need (including a very appreciated washer), and has grocery stores and restaurants nearby. It is a short walk to the beach and a quick trip to other parts of the city by nearby metro, bus, or cab. The elevator is a big plus in getting suitcases to/from the floor of the apartment. Alfred is an attentive host, answering any question quickly. It was a pleasure to stay here.
