Joy was very welcoming on our arrival and she also gave us great recommendations for things to do/see/eat. The apartment is as described, in a great central location and easy walk to the beach. Everything you could need for a short or long stay is provided and the kitchen has great quality appliances. The road noise inside the apartment is quite loud (especially in the front bedroom) but if you are used to traffic noise at night, it shouldn't be a problem. Our only gripe was that two days into our 7 day stay Joy informed us that bathroom renovations in their flat below would be occurring the following day (having never mentioned it before). The noise and vibrations (two days of tile removal) meant that we couldn't stay in the apartment during the day (you couldn't hear the tv nor could my toddler sleep). Other than that, a good place to stay.
