The location is ideal. Maybe 200 steps to the actual sand on the beach. The neighborhood is quiet. The top lock on this room door does not lock. That may be important to know for a female travelling alone. I remedied this by tying a bungee cord around the doorknob and attached the other end to the inside of the dresser to sleep at night, to feel more secure. Other than that, no complaints. The room was just as it is pictured, small, but comfortable with an updated kitchen and bathroom. Maria was responsive and communicated quickly when I had 2 questions.
