Thanks!
The Sunshine was ok, nothing flash. A friend stayed at the Albergo Italia which looks nice:

I was on a tour so prepaid almost everything in euro’s. I only changed $100 so just did it with my guide so not sure the best way to change.

Another friend also recently visited and may be of more help:
