We were amazed at how secluded (in a good way) the place felt with being close to such a main and busy road. We enjoyed the easy access to other parts of the island and also the proximity to great restaurants in the area, a grocery store, and the bike path (with free use of bikes being an awesome perk!) There was a beach within walking distance but we didn't check that particular one out. The apartment had everything that we needed, was clean, and had some nice touches to make our stay more comfortable (air conditioning, tons of places to hang wet clothes, fruit when we arrived). Overall, really enjoyed our stay and would recommend to others!
