Melisza was a nice host and the area was residential and peaceful, but it's far from everything. It is not 8 minutes from the beach by car. More like 15/20 minutes when there's no traffic. If someone does not have their own car, then they'll have to Uber everywhere. There is a 7-11 a mile away if you need coffee in the morning as the coffee maker didn't work while I was there. This was a great place for a night or two for one person, but it is too cramped for any long stays.
