Cristina, the host, was there to meet us when we arrived. what a genuinely lovely lady who has put love into her apartment and has made sure all the amenities that you would need for your stay is in there. The apartment itself is on a row of other apartments/houses which backs onto the beach, literally turn the corner and you are on the promenade. It was very quiet when we stayed as it was out of season but it is a beautiful location and apart from a bit of traffic noise on and off, it wasnt something that would cause any annoyance. there is a tram and bus stop just across the road and plenty of parking outside the apartment also. There is a pizza restaurant next door. The city itself is within walking distance and is a pleasant walk. There is a large fresh food market a stone's throw away and also quite a few shopping malls within a short distance. We look forward to returning in the future and if you are looking for a fantastic apartment which is very comfortable and value for money, book this place without any hesitation.
