The apartment is in a great location. It's literally 2 minutes from the bus stop in Portobello. There are numerous places to eat in the town. A beautiful church and other amenities. The beach is about 3 minutes walk and such a beautiful promenade. The apartment is spotless and has everything needed for a comfortable and pleasant stay. I would say that it's easier to take public transport than to mess about with parking the car as there are very limited parking options.
