10/10 Exceptional
An older building in the heart of it all, a short walk from the beach, and immersed in culture. While our room wasn't very big, it was clean and modern despite the age of the building. There is no elevator but it's only a few floors. The shower took a very long time to warm. It took me a good 5 minutes to get it to a favorable temperature. But it is a nice bathroom and shower and the amenities were great. The television does not have cable or streaming channels but with their free Wi-Fi you can access apps and cast from one of your devices. I recommend to the owners to provide easier accessible channels because a lot of people are not tech savvy, but I was able to cast from my phone and watch our apps that we subscribe to like YouTube & Hulu. It's not hard, but it would be nice if they provided clear instructions. Our check in and out were easy, contact free, and customer service was very responsive via text or app. We had to wait about 25 minutes to retrieve our luggage after we had checked it, so we could go to the beach before check in time. There was not anyone at the front desk during business hours, so I had to communicate through the app, but they responded right away and got someone to meet us. We took advantage of the free beach chairs and I could see the free bicycles that were available. It felt like a nice comfortable home in the middle of a fun and festive, culturally rich neighborhood. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. It was fun and comfortable.
