Flor's house is one of the most interesting places where I had a chance to stay. It's full of different decorations and has a very friendly atmosphere. I really recommend you to visit it!
Neighborhoods are quiet. In 2-3 minutes walk, you can find a good grocery shop, cafe, pizzeria and a bus stop to center (30 minutes / $2,5).
There is also a trial which can get you to the ocean (ok - to the creek).
