Chipy is a warm and genial host, and she went far out of her way to accommodate my schedule when it didn't fit her usual check-in time. Thanks again, Chipy! The apartment is a delightful Paris-sized space, very comfortable and efficiently-designed, with plenty of natural light and a lovely view of back-court rooftops and the open sky. It's remarkably quiet, yet there are bars and restaurants just around the corner, some truly excellent art galleries, bookstores and a park within just a few minutes' walk. The kitchen area is well-equipped for longer stays, with easy access to markets and groceries in the neighborhood. The sofa bed was extremely comfortable. Altogether, an ideal situation and a gracious host! Highly recommended.
