We were met by Paul, who helps out when our host is traveling. He was there when we arrived, showed us around the apartment, and gave us the information we needed for our stay. The apartment is lovely, with high ceilings and large windows giving a sense of space and lightness. The neighborhood is well situated, within easy walking distance to many areas we wished to visit (including points of historical interest, restaurants, cafes, bars, public transportation, etc.). We also needed to leave our bags for a late afternoon departure, and this was no problem--much appreciated.
