"We had a very pleasant stay and really enjoyed the apartment! The view was amazing, and the location was great. It’s about a 15–20 minute walk to the beach, or you can easily drive there. There is some free parking available if you’re lucky enough to grab a spot, or paid parking for $10 for 3 hours. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely come back! The only downside was the air conditioning upstairs. It got quite hot, possibly because of the roof, or maybe the AC itself needs to be cleaned or upgraded. The hosts actually offered to come and take a look, which we appreciated, but we decided not to bother since we only had two nights left in our stay. Other than that, everything was great, and we really enjoyed our time here! Can't wait to come back!"
