Silvia's place is wonderful! The studio apartment is the perfect size for 1-2 people. It has everything you need including a kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge/freezer, and coffee-maker. The bathroom has a shower with excellent water pressure. The place itself is located just off the main road which is busy during the day but has almost no traffic after dark making the nights very quiet. There's a lovely little patio to sip your morning coffee on before walking a couple of blocks to the North Shore. You can choose between a more secluded beach nearest to Silvia's place or more popular beaches nearby. Make sure to rent a car - a taxi to the North Shore costs a lot and the bus takes forever. Also, wear sunscreen.
