Our host Masa was very communicative and welcoming. She provided some great restaurant recommendations too. The apartment was as pictured. Please take notice that there is no living room, just a big kitchen with a tiny couch off to the side. Location was very close to the beach, which is perhaps why they did not provide bath towels (fear of tenants taking them to the beach?) only hand size towels. Only 15 minute walk to old town restaurants as well, so location was amazing. Washing machine was broken, which sucked since we were on a long road trip and picked this apartment in part because is supposedly had a washer. the washer. Do note that the walls are paper-thin. We could hear ever conversation and TV from neighbors above and next door to us. Overall the apartment was good for a large group who can be very quiet (which large groups seldom are). We were a group of 4, a young couple (30s) and older couple (70s) and the space was plenty big, but felt soulless; everything that you need (all from Ikea), but nothing personal and not the kind of apartment people would actually live in. So, good for a short stay to go to restaurants and the beach (bring your own beach and bath towels!) if you are a large group and quiet (otherwise, you are certain to upset the neighbors through the paper-thin walls, which your host advises under "House Rules" will result in you being thrown out by the police...which would not make for a good holiday at all).
