We stayed here for two weeks while working remotely and it was lovely! I would happily stay here again.
The internet speed was good and handled video calls well.
The neighborhood was great! There’s a delicious bakery downstairs that you can see from the balcony and a little shop selling fruits, veggies, snacks, etc. I loved sitting out on the balcony with a morning coffee and watching the street below while I started my work day.
The beach is about a 10 minute walk away. We went swimming almost every day and it was a highlight of the trip. One thing to note is Nancy doesn’t have beach towels anymore. We picked some up at a general store nearby (along with some clothes pins for the clothes line) and it wasn’t an issue. The laundry machine worked well. Detergent pods were provided.
There’s a large supermarket nearby and a traditional market. It was very easy to get the supplies we needed. The kitchen is small but well outfitted.
Nancy was helpful. She provided ideas for restaurants in the area and also dropped off garbage bags when we ran out, which we really appreciated. She had coffee and fresh croissants ready for our first breakfast, along with some salty snacks. This was a really nice touch and made the first morning very easy after a long travel day.
The apartment is on the third floor. The view is lovely and it’s not exactly unique in Europe, but it might be worth noting for some travellers that stairs are the only option.
You do have to coordinate check in. Nancy was very flexible on the time and provided two keys. She also let us check out late on our last day which meant we got to sneak in one last beach day. That was so generous and was a great way to end our stay!
If you’re wanting to spend most of your time sightseeing in the Center this might not be the place for you. It is accessible by transit (less than 10m walk to the station and then 20m metro ride) or an hour walking, but not as convenient as other locations might be.
If you are looking forward to enjoying a quieter neighbourhood with nice restaurants and a beautiful beach, this is for you.
