Great location. It's about a 20-30 minute walk to the center of the old city (part of that walk is very much uphill, FYI!). We were very charmed by the neighborhood and the city in general. The apartment is comfortable and quiet. It's on the 2nd floor and accessed by the classic winding staircase outside, so maneuvering a large suitcase in the rain on this was a bit of a challenge--just something to be aware of. Some of the planks in the staircase looked very old, but it was secure.
