Andre was awesome and super accommodating. Even though he wasn't around, he left the keys for us at a great bar right down the street-where we ended up going for dinner and drinks both nights. We called him for a couple quick questions that day and he answered and helped us get in.

The neighborhood is lovely. It's about an eight minute drive to a gorgeous beach if you're going surfing or swimming at Mundaka. The area surrounding Andre's place is quiet, and it's about a two minute walk to the beach. Awesome view.

His apartment is great. It was clean, spacious, wonderfully furnished, and has a great balcony overlooking the water. Also: hot water and great water pressure in the shower (it's the little things that delight).
