The owners made certain we were comfortable and most helpful regarding the nearby market for shopping, which proved invaluable for getting local ingredients for cooking meals. Nice, fully furnished kitchen as well! This is not resort life by no means as you hear local children playing in the streets and the sounds of barking dogs, etc. The walk to the beach is maybe 8-10 minutes but often across rough pavements so not advised for anyone with walking or mobility issues. The balcony, although long, is thin and not suitable for enjoying a meal. Choose an upper floor if you wish to be above the electric lines that traverse eye level while seated, maybe three feet away. Bottom Line: wonderful base for exploring PV, large sitting room, great shower and the free laundry a godsend for anyone spending time in the water or on the beach.
