We spent a month in the rental listed as "Ocean View: Beautiful Residential Aptartments/Guest House" in Santo Domingo while we were renovating our house. Good location, very nice people, nice and clean. Nothing fancy, but our apartment was VERY spacious, we had the first floor apartment with huge rooms [1 bdrm, lg LV, DR, kitchen, 2 bathrooms]. I'd go back there anytime. About the only thing that I could complain about is that it's on the malecon and the traffic is sometimes noisy as it passes by.
