Louis is a fabulous host and we were very surprised when we were greeted with a Californian accent! He was super helpful at every step along the way, both before, during and after our stay. The apartment is on the ground floor of their building and at the back of the property. It's quite charming with a hand made bed. There's no view out of the apartment however, which was a bit disappointing, as it doesn't have any windows!, but there is a small covered courtyard that let's light in from above, just by it's own front door. Louis and his wife live upstairs.
We took a taxi from the airport and I think we got ripped off, €60 for a 30 minute ride!! The cab driver said it was more expensive as it was at night, but that's double what we thought it would be, so not a great start to our weekend! Take the 1 bus direct from the airport, Louis will tell you which stop to get off at. It takes about 45 mins from the airport and then maybe just a 5 minute walk down one street, and it's only €1.70 each! Lesson learned the hard way!
So many bars and restaurants and history within minutes of the apartment, so if you're looking for somewhere to sleep and shower between adventures it's perfect.
Oh and bring some sun cream, we've both come home with pink faces! Fabulous weather for March which we weren't quite expecting :-)
