The apartment is beautiful and more spacious than it appears in the pictures. The walk into town via the river track behind the house is a lovely flat and peaceful way to get to the city. It is a bit of a distance but with all the great local food we were eating we enjoyed the exercise! The Cascade brewery is close by and a great spot to enjoy a drink and the beautiful grounds. There are some nice cafes near by and a couple of small grocery stores. We really enjoyed our stay here. Much nicer than staying in the bustle of the inner city.
