The apartment is in Portixol, which has less tourists, and tons of great restaurants nearby to grab a bite to eat practically any time of the day. Additionally, the beach is an easy 5 minute walk. We do regret not renting bikes until the last day of our visit, it would have made getting around much easier. The apartment is quite a ways from the city center, and we frequently took a taxi (about a €5 trip so not bad) every time we wanted to leave Portixol, for example to visit the Cathedral, shops, or to take a bus to a neighboring town. The bed in the private room is very large and comfortable to our great pleasure. The bathroom is a little small, and shared with the host, but it does the job. Keep in mind there is no a/c and in the summer months it will get hot! Sergio is a very welcoming host, and we had a fantastic 5 day stay in his apartment! I would recommend this listing!
