The apartment was well appointed. It is really a 1 bedroom apartment with the hosts sleeping in the living room area area providing their guests with a comfortable bedroom with a large and very comfortable kingsize bed. Be aware the bedroom faces the street which can be noisy into the evenings. There is little air circulation so the room tends to get warm so if you open the window you will be confronted with street noise nothing that a set of earplugs couldn't overcome. There is a fan in the room but it has a large, bright blue light which I, personally found disturbing and kept waking me from an otherwise very relaxing sleep.

We were there for only a weekend and a busy one at that, so while the hosts made their kitchen available and offered tea etc., we were never around to take advantage of their hospitality.

Both Lana and Elena were very accommodating and responsive to our questions. Indeed, Lana was great about responding to my emails prior to arrival - a good communicator.

I found the location perfect - just on the edge of the active and busy 3rd street promenade and 3 blocks from the beach. Easy access to anywhere you might wish to go by foot, bus or car.
