Laura's place was FANTASTIC! The location is ideal, walking distance to the hot spots and super easy to grab a taxi. The neighborhood is peaceful, but the street the apartment is on is lively with many cafe's, restaurants, and small bars. There is a great small supermarket just across the street and several large super markets within a few blocks. We stayed here for five weeks and it is perfect for long stays and I'm sure short stays too. The apartment is super comfortable and clean.
The best thing about this place is the responsiveness of the host. The cooktop broke on the afternoon of December 23 and Laura went to work to make sure we had it replaced before Christmas... she actually had it replaced within a few hours!
We highly recommend this apartment!!
