Emil was a wonderful and accommodating host. Communication was great and he immediately responded to any of my requests. The apartment was very clean and well appointed, with everything you need, a full kitchen, full size fridge and stove, towels, ironing board, even a laundry on site. Emil even provided a yoga mat for me! You also can use his sister property, a hotel with beachfront access and a pool, which is just over a mile down the main road.
The apartment is on a commercial street very close to the beach (5 minute walk.) It's a great location if you want to be at the ocean, and if you don't have a car, there are many restaurants and bars right on that block.
The apartment is on the 2nd floor, and the stairs are a bit steep. There is no elevator.
Some of the bars and restaurants right on that block have live music at night, which you can hear in the apartment. This would not be a problem if you are out at night anyway, but if you are an early to bed type, it will be loud.
Overall, a great place in a lively area super close to the beach with a wonderful and accommodating host.
