Gilian is a great host and was quick with communication. The apartment is down a little (not terribly charming but safe) alley and was very clean and well located. The apartment had everything we needed and while not super fancy was comfortable. It is a neighborhood with mostly fun restaurants and bakeries and shops but if you are traveling with kids know there are a few adult stores sprinkled in as well. The location, cleanliness and Gilian’s responsiveness were fantastic.
