This is a very nice apartment. It is clean and spacious. The plunge pool on the roof was a nice thing to enjoy after hot days at the beach and running around. And the views from the roof and balconies are beautiful. My only negative is that there is a major construction site next to the apartment. They are in the early stages of building something significant (probably apartments as there is even a crane set up here). Work began around 8:30 M-F, and since we had three young adults with us who didn't exactly want to be awoken that early, it was a bit of a nuisance. All four bedrooms are on the first level as you come in. Two of the bedrooms are on the side that faces the construction and it was very loud for the kids in those rooms. But you could hear the noise in the other bedrooms as well. Be forewarned about this as it looks like it will be quite a while before construction is completed.
The beach (Calla Mayor) at the bottom of the hill is beautiful and very convenient. It was crowded as we were there in August, but if you got down there by 10am, you could still get beach chairs when they began renting them (6 euros each during the week). The water is very clear and was relatively calm. There are 2 restaurants, a beach bar, and a fantastic gelato place.
The apartment has a garage. We were a family of 5 and needed an SUV, which made parking down in it very difficult. It would be great for a small Fiat or other compact car. We mostly parked on the street which was always a challenge due to the construction site having much of it blocked off. I highly suggest having a car to see the island, but recommend keeping it small if you can.
The neighborhood didn't exactly have a "beach town" feel to it, but there are restaurants, shops, and markets all up and down the main road at the bottom of the hill. The area still has a lot of graffiti and a few closed up shops, but it is clearly on the comeback.
