the apartment is super cute, very clean and stocked with everything you need. location is excellent, with bus 1 block away, trolley 2 blocks away and fantastic beach 4 blocks away. el cabanyal is a wonderful neighborhood with a lot of great bars and restaurants (excellent hot chocolate at las olivares). the merkat cabanyal market is a couple of blocks away, as well as a well stocked supermercado. we spent the entire month of november and really enjoyed it. juan manuel and his wife were very friendly, and were able to help us find an apartment in the neighborhood for a longer term stay. our first day there was a plumbing issue and juan manuel had a plumber in who fixed everything early the next morning. nothing but good things to say about our stay.
