Communication with Mario was very quick and helpful before arrival. The apartment is exactly as shown in photos and very nice and clean. I was able to cook daily and had everything I needed for a great stay. I enjoyed staying in the apartment for a couple of weeks. Grocery store across the street, great restaurant below, and easy walk to the beach. I felt very safe in the apartment and the neighborhood and I was traveling alone. There is a bus stop right in front of the apartment to take you to city center. A most wonderful apartment and city!
