We had an uncertain arrival time but Clara was nonetheless completely flexible and welcoming. She met us at the door and helped us with our luggage and then showed us where to park, free of charge, one block away. Her apartment has black-out shades and is very quiet, despite being on a major street. We were one block from a playground and bakeries and a short (15 min) and pleasant walk to the surfing beach and the old town. Clara had coffee and milk and jams ready for us in the kitchen and delivered fresh baked goods to our door each morning. The kitchen is well-appointed, with stylish dishes and plenty of utensils for cooking. There is also a washing machine and outside clothes line available from the apartment. The apartment itself is very stylish. Clara speaks perfect English, was easy to contact by computer or in person, and gave us plenty of recommendations for things to do in and near the city. The kids loved the bunk beds and said they were very comfortable, as was the queen bed. Our family had an outstanding stay.
