It's a great apartment with a lovely sun-lit balcony (also enough shade) in a quiet, friendly neighbourhood. Francesca responded quickly and informatively to all of my text questions and was very welcoming.
The location is very good in some regards and maybe not quite so great in others - the walks to the beach and to the metro stop are longer than I expected (maybe I didn't check carefully enough) - this might have seemed important during my visit as it rained a lot (not Francesca'a fault!!). But the tram and bus stops are very close and the local cafes and restaurants are very good indeed with reasonable prices.
