Vincent had his assistant meet me and get me all set up in the apartment. She was very welcoming and she also went over a map of the area, places to go, and where to find gerocery stores to buy food. The neighborhood is nice and an easy walk to the old town. It's also very close to the train station, especially if you follow Vincent's directions to exit the train station the back way! The description of the apartment is pretty accurate. I did have some trouble getting the cookng surfaces to work, but Vincent was very responsive and helpful and we got that taken care of. The apartment is on the ground floor so it's nice and cool in the summer heat - but also a little damp because of that. It's pretty quiet and if you close the door between the kitchen and the bedroom even more so.
