This apartment was exactly what we needed for a vacation with my in-laws. The layout allowed for separation between us and ample space to sit and visit or cook in the spacious kitchen. Having 2.5 bathrooms was a bonus so no one had to stand in line to shower etc. There is a view of the ocean from the living room window and from the main bedroom balcony (as depicted). We visited in Nov. when the waves were enormous and it was fun to watch the commotion when people photographing the waves would get splashed. It was an easy walk to numerous restaurants and a couple of blocks to different grocery/market options. The apartment was very clean (I'm picky about these things), with sufficient linens for our stay. Kitchen supplies were available as well as choices for a coffee maker. Though Maria/Rosa were on vacation, they had a back-up host that was also very responsive and accommodating about meeting us for access. A WONDERFUL APARTMENT! We hope to book it again for our next trip.
