I kick myself for forgetting to check whether a place on the 3rd or higher floor has an elevator. This one did not, which I believe was mentioned in the review but I was so happy to find a place so close to the beach, I failed to note that. The stairway is narrow and steep and a struggle with a suitcase, not a backpack however. The place was relatively clean and close to the beach, a few hundred yards at most. But, there was a dog that lived on a nearby balcony that barked at all hours, and there is construction next door, even on weekends, from early morning into the evening. Rosa, who works for the owner, met me at the appointed time and let me into the place, and gave me information about the functioning of various things int he apartment. She was very accessible on WhatsApp for my Qs. I never sat on or used the sleeper sofa so I cannot agree or disagree with prior comments on it. The main bedroom was a bit dark, but the bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean. This is an old building near the sea and, as a result, there is a definite moldy or mildewy odor, both in the apartment, especially the bathroom, and in the neighborhood in general. I got used to it, but I wonder if my lungs fared well? So, overall, I recommend this place with the reservations noted.
