Marlena’s place is in a central location a short block from the beach. The area was a little rowdier than we were looking for in COVID times (crowded restaurants, few masks), but the apartment was quiet and felt safe. Check in was contactless and easy, although it is good to note that they are strict about check in time and won’t allow bag drop off - the area is not very conducive to wandering with suitcases. It was clean and had some nice, thoughtful touches. We were happy that they provided beach chairs and towels that we took with us on the short walk to the beach. We enjoyed the outdoor seating area to eat and relax. The apartment was minimal, but there wasn’t anything we were missing. Overall we enjoyed our stay!
