The location is in a nice residential area. It is within close walking distance to transportation if you need it but we thought it was a nice distance to walk (maybe 10-15 min) to the beach and all the surrounding restaurants and shops. Lourdes as a host was a great bonus. She was very welcoming and helpful with any and all needed. Only downside, she was getting major work done to her home during our stay so it was very noisy. If you're looking to sleep in just a tad or quietly relax, I would inquire first. Other than that, we would recommend Lourdes's home.
