After an initial misunderstanding with the address all went well. Eli gave us lot of recommendations for places to eat and the location of shops etc.
Rob went out of his way to try to rescue a pearl earring from the bathtub train pipe and he suggested we ride the finicular railcar up to visit the castle, which we did in the early evening. It was wonderful - and no tourists!
The apartment is in a great location, close to everything. It was very clean and comfortable. We would recommend it to others.
