Great stay very accommodating would definitely stay again
Pros:

Both hosts were amazing very friendly and inviting.
Had a great view from rm 20 and only a few minute walk to the beach. A lot of shops and restaurants around.

Cons:

The bed was hard and uncomfortable- mabye because I stayed during pregnancy. So may be just a personal preference.
