Allow my to start off by saying that Carmen was the perfect hostess!!! So kind, very helpful and available if required. She picked me up from the train station, escorted me to the apartment and showed me around. Explained wi-fi (password) the garbage schedule, and how to use the washing machine (settings etc). Suggested restaurants and bars near by, places to visit, helped me book tours, with directions...I can't say enough about her. I was truly treated like royalty.
The apartment itself was perfect. Upon arrival, it was spotless! It had all of the amenities that one would require including towels, linens, beach umbrellas and laundry facilities. Very nicely decorated and spacious. There were toiletries in the bathroom which was a nice touch. Balcony was gorgeous!! Overlooks a small square, street and mountains. Bedroom was large with plenty of storage (for clothing etc). Bathroom was perfect -- the shower/toilet is separated by a door from the sink and mirror (which is great). Kitchen is equipped with everything (espresso maker, stove, microwave, dishes, pots and pans etc.). Wi-fi was perfect (fast and strong connection).
The location was marvelous. Within a 5 minute walk, you will find restaurants, bars, banks, hair salon, nail salon, grocery store, bakery, souvenir shops, butcher shop, fruit/vegetable shops, bus stop, beach, post office, church and a pharmacy. There is also a hotel across the street which is a good reference point for taxis etc. The employees there are fantastic! I had booked tours thru them and they were more than helpful!
I enjoyed every minute of my stay. Grazie Carmen!!!
A la prossima!!
