The apartment was perfect; pristine and very stylish, and although we didn't get to meet the host, they welcomed us with homemade cookies and lots of useful info. They were extremely helpful before we arrived and spoke very good English.
The apartment was beautiful and it was great for our children to be in a family home with some toys to entertain them. They also loved riding in the old fashioned lift! The neighbourhood was great with convenient shops and transport. Parking on the street was difficult but our host advised parking in a nearby hotel car park which was very easy.
