We met Anne, who assists Ryoko when she is out of town, and Anne couldn't have been nicer and more accommodating! We (my daughter and I) sat with her and her son (he came by to help with luggage and open the apartment) and chatted for an hour and felt so much more at ease in this new city after this.

The apartment is as it looks, and maybe nicer. It was very spacious. Those windows open up to the walking street below (no cars). Although you can hear the noise from below (restaurant, Celtic pub, coffee shop) it was actually kind of comforting for us to listen to. On weekends, there is a market that is set up, and it's a lot of fun.

The only negative was the narrow hallway upon entering, and the narrow stairway up to the first floor before getting to the lift, which was very small. We walked all flights of stairs on consecutive days.
