The apartment was lovely, spacious, with ample room for the two of us to spread out and relax. We never met or learned very much about the owner; all our interactions were with Maja, who lived just a few doors down, was extremely helpful, always available, and seemed to genuinely care about our stay (even to the point of arguing our money back from a taxi driver who overcharged us upon arrival). Good access to grocery store, and there is a gym nearby. Good proximity to the beach, though I would describe it more as a "town house near the beach" than a "beach house," as it is located on a fairly crowded city street about a 5 - 10 minute walk from the beach. Appliances were a bit temperamental here and there. The main downside was the neighbors. While this was outside of the owners' control, there was a large family with several children living (illegally) in a small space right next door. The children would scream constantly, yell in the street, and kick balls against our front door. They also had a tendency to play loud music, late into the night, both from their own building and from their van parked in the street. To be clear, the issue was just this family; otherwise the neighborhood was okay. We were told that this family was moving out soon, but if you are sensitive at all to noise, we would advise that you ask about this before booking.
