The positives: the apartment is beautifully decorated, very clean, has all that is needed in good condition and clearly designed to be a nice oasis. It was very affordable, which we appreciated, and the local host (which is not the owner) was very flexible in accommodating our late arrival. It is also a five minute walk to a nice beach. The challenges: the neighborhood was extremely noisy. For example, there was massive construction all along both sides (front and back) of the apartment which made it very noisy and dirty-- before renting people should ask if the construction is done. The neighborhood is not particularly clean or quaint, maybe an "up and coming" area.
