Communication with the host was great! She responded right away to every one of our messages. The apartment was perfectly clean and spacious. Every room had a balcony, including the living room. Coffee, tea, and cookies were provided. The apartment is a 5 minute walk from the beach and from a bus stop that comes every half hour and goes to the center. Apartment itself is not in the center, however being so close to the beach was just what we wanted.
