Very convenient to walk everywhere, even to the beach. Good location to stay as a base if you want to head down south to other towns beaches during the day.

The bathroom was way to small to even go to the toilet without hitting the basin, you could hear people walking around in the next door apartment and also in ours. Open section to the stairs which was extremely unsafe for our baby. Property needs some upgrades, looks nothing like the online images.
