I'm pretty sure the apartment sparkled when we walked in. It was immaculate, and I was surprised with the amount of space. Michael has predicted every possible need travelers will have with their children--potty seats, straws, plastic dinnerware, toys (my daughter's favorite part), and even bubble bath. There are markets and restaurants close by, and the access to public transportation is just down the street. It's a quiet spot--the tram goes by periodically at night, but it's not especially loud. This was a perfect place to begin our vacation!
