The apartment was well located for our purposes (language school nearby) and very close to the beach. It is just a pleasant 12 to 15 minute walk into the old two as well. The main problem for us was the very loud noise from the street at night - even with all doors and windows closed you could hear everything. If you are travelling with several people, please note that the ONLY mirror is in the bathroom, which made things a bit difficult getting ready to go out for dinner. The only toilet is also located in the bathroom.
