Fabulous location and apartment. Lory is a wonderful and warm host. The second week of January is a great time to visit if you are looking to shop - I thought they were giving things away in the stores due to the amount of people. Great area for food, shopping, walking, exploring, etc. Went to a crazy fun TIKI bar a little farther out - must do - "Dirty Dick" (sorry but really the name - former brothel). Favorite part of the apartment was the wonderul round table for family meals and great conversation.
