The apartment is on a busy street, but there is no noise inside. The beach is within a walking distance. The apartment has air conditioning, but we did not try it, so not sure if it works. There is a washing machine and dishwasher as well. Unfortunately the apartment was very dirty. The dirt was all over the floor - looked the same as a balcony outside. The kitchen did not seem to be cleaned as well - grease on the stove and microwave. When we came, the light in the bathroom was not working, but was fixed another day.
