Carmen’s apartment is beautiful and stocked up with silverware, a Brit’s water filter, and amenities that are needed when you’re traveling. We had an amazing time being so close to the beach. However, the apartment only has air conditioning in the living room. We stayed during the biggest heat wave in the century, without air in our rooms. Carmen told us to open the windows to get the beach breeze, which only worked for windows facing the beach. Fans would have been a big help. When we opened the windows overnight, multiple bugs and mosquitos came in. This apartment is prime for a local stay, but since we were traveling for 3 weeks from New York it was annoying to bring our suitcases up four flights of stairs. Despite the A/C and stairs, though, the apartment was beautiful and home-y.
