This is a lovely house with everything as advertised. However, you would definitely need a car. It is approximately 25 minutes walk to the Old Port and though you might do this once a day, you would not want to do it more often as it is a long walk in the heat and is very quiet walking home at night. The location of the house is quiet and other than a great supermarket around the corner, there is nothing particularly nice in the area. There are no nice restaurants, cafes or shops near by - you have to walk into town for all that. There is a small pharmacy a few minutes walk but not a lot else. The house, though in a suburban area, can feel a bit isolated. Also, be aware that you must pay extra for sheets and towels to be provided. If is a good house if you have a car and like being in a very quiet location.
